Answer
Hi Renee, Collector value of a note depends on date and condition, including amount of wear, any folds, tears or stains as well as collector demand.
Paper Money Gallery: http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/notedir/mappage.html .
You might check the above link for comparison pictures.
The Korean (South) notes sound like the 1950 issues (P-7,8). They may be worth .25 to about $10.
The Japanese notes were issued in 1946. The 10 Yen (P-87) may be worth .25 up to about $10 while the 1 Yen (P-85) may be worth about $1 or less because of the tear.
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.
