    These belonged to my grandfather, and I have no idea what they are.
    Can someone ID and give a general value of these?
    Thank you in advance.

    I scanned them, both sides.

    Welcome aboard,revaxx.You have got there a 500 Roubles from Czarist Russia,a 2 Francs from Algeria,a 1 Lira from Italy,& a 1 Centavo of the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines.

    They are very common notes.

    Top left, French Algeria 2 francs.

    Center left, 1 Lira World War II Allied Military Payment Currency, issued to Allied troops in Italy.

    Bottom left, 1 centavo Japanese World War II Phillipine occupation currency.

    Right, 500 Rubles(?), probably Czarist Russian, early 20th Century, definitely from a country using the Cyrillic alphabet.

    For values you need to locate a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money ("Pick").

    Edited - guess I had better learn to type faster.

    I certainly didn't intend to assist you in trying to sell the notes!
