Thank you Harryg. I will look at signatures. Seems these banknotes rely on them quite a bit

These notes are still legal tender in the Singapore so they are worth face value at least. Still they are not extremely common and there is good demand for these by collectors who are not obsessed with UNC notes even in their current condition. 

What you have here are from the first issues (nd1967) when Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore formed their own central banks. Prior to that the common currency used was issued by the Board of Commissioners of currency of Malaya and British Borneo. The signature on the notes belong to LIM Kim San. If your notes are in EF conditions (which I do not think they are, except for the $1 note), I would say they are worth:-

 

$1 - $4-6

$5 - $30

$10 - $25

 

Local catalogue only provides pricing for EF and UNC conditions only. Above is just my opinion. There is no shortage of supply of such notes in such conditions, especially in Singapore/Malaysia. I believe the $1 is in a better condition of the three. To me, the Singapore Orchard series is the best design of notes since 1967.

 

If you have the $5 P2b Dr GOH Keng Swee, this note is worth much, much more.

Thank you both for your time on these! Appreciate the information., so much to learn.

These are more from dad's collection- some nice, interesting bills. Proud of what he acquired through time. I will make a nice display, getting some clear sheets for them.

Will post some more later today - if I can't find in the search. Some I have sucess finding, others maybe I do something wrong.

Thank you!
