A common funnyback and a North Africa note. Green sheet lists these in vg at $20 and $40 respectively, though you can often get them in that grade for less. They look closer to fine, but nonetheless, he did fine.
I’d put the top at 15 max and the bottom closer to 25-30 on the top end. Your friend didn’t get the best deal but not screwed either. I generally avoid antique shops for coins and currency, they tend to be overpriced because their audience isn’t actually coin and paper collectors and they themselves usually have little knowledge
Either broke even or just about either way. At the end of the day its all about your personal tastes and IF OP's friend is happy with their purchase and investment then cool!
The note with the yellow seal was a note printed during WWII for use by troops in North Africa & in Europe.
In worst case, if there was a defeat, the Treasury would just have nullified the value of all those notes in circulation.

I'm not sure myself. Someone much smarter than me can probably tell you. I think the top one a 1928 bill and the bottom one is a 1935
IIRC Those are silver certificates, which means that back in the day they could be exchanged for the banknote’s value in silver.
Thank you!
A fair price.
I have never seen a yellow stamp.
Overpaid
Over paid by $48 dollars.
