Answer Hi Trish, Collector value of a note depends on date and condition, including amount of wear, any folds, tears or stains as well as collector demand.
The 3 1943 Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia area) notes are for 1, 5 and 10 Guldens. They each may be worth .25 to maybe $10 depending on amount of wear and collector demand.
The last note is a British Malaya $5 note actually issued in 1945. It may be worth about $5 to maybe $60 depending on amount of wear and collector demand.
You may find similar pieces on Ebay.com for comparison. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
