      They are Ostmark (bank notes of the former German Democratic Republic), basically Commie Marks.

      185 Ostmark, that’s 46.25 €, 92.50 DM or 925 Ostmark on the black market /s

      Thes are in really excellent condition. Keep them, maybe you can donate them to a Museum in Like 20-30 years.

      This is a complete set of banknotes from the former GDR. A compete set like this is worth about 30-40 € if you find a collector willing to buy them.

      5 Mark – Thomas Müntzer

      10 Mark – Clara Zetkin

      They are just called Mark. Not Ostmark (which would be the Nazi German term for Austria :D). Like everybody said, thats the money of the DDR/GDR. You cant exchange those anymore, thats stuff for collectors. There are some collectors for Mark, cause thats a comparatively small field to collect.

      I recommend seeking advice from someone knowledgeable in numismatics (the study of coins) to get a clearer picture of this.

      At first glance, the banknots appear to be in very good condition.

      The value of banknotes as collection items is strongly tied to their status. Uncirculated banknotes are always preferred. These seem to be in great condition although they don’t seem uncirculated.
