I have some currency whose country of origin I'm trying to identify.
Here are the pictures:

I don't have scans of the back of the last one available, at the
moment, but at least the first note is from Japan (it says Nippon
Ginko on it) so I'm guessing maybe the rest of them are, as well?
None of the others have Nippon Ginko on them, though.

The gentleman on the red note shown in photo #4279854393 is Dr. Sun
Yat Sen, so I would guess China during WWII era.
