Question
I have old money like the Japanese government, china, confederate states America, I have a envelope that has carried on atom bombing plane "A" DAY-BIKINI, MARSHALL ISLANDS. Is any of this worth looking in to?  Thank you. Brenda Ritchie

Answer
Hi Brenda, Collector value of a note depends on date, series letter or signature and condition, including amount of wear, any folds, tears or stains as well as collector demand.
If you start by listing them by Country, Denomination, and Date, I may be able to give you a range of value estimates.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
