Any value in the attached bills? These were acquired from my wife's grandfather.

These are notes from the German hyperinflation in the early 1920s, the top one is 5 billion marks, the bottom one is 50 billion marks. In German a millionen is the equivalent of a billion in English, while a billionen is the equivalent of a trillion in English. Interesting notes, but most of these don't have a high value since so many millions were printed (they were eventually used for cooking since the notes were cheaper than firewood). I don't know if these are rare varieties, so I'll defer to any experts on the board, but if they are common they might be worth a dollar or two.
