Top one is an example of Allied Military Currency, for use by the Allies in reconquered France. Pick #49 in my old edition of the catalogue; not too rare.

Bottom one is dated 5-12-1940 (5th December). I assume that date makes it a Vichy State issue, though these notes were issued 1939-1942 with no change in design. Listed as Pick #7. Again, not too rare, especially in that condition.

KoCT #21

The early bird gets the worm, sure, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

The 2FF is worth about 50¢ because it is popular with American collectors, these were printed by Beacon and Co printers in Boston USA, and came in with the American army in 1944 during the invasion of Normandy.  It is popular with French collectors because of the tricolour flag of France on the reverse. 

The 10FF note, only a 25¢ because it is a common note, very heavily circulated, most would not even collect it like that.
