Help identifying a few African currency knives/blades

I believe these are all from South Sudan. I don't know why they are rather roughly finished. Some are clean steel with ingraving looking very nice, perhaps these really are just currency. Still a nice little lot to have. I had some, do I reget selling them? you bet I do. The one or two you have with ingraving, wonder if they would clean up with nonetching rust remover. Do one as a test piece to see results?
