Grandpa's games - points of view 2

Since many people liked the game (although few risked answering), here is the second edition. This time they're easier (I hope). You know the rules: these are pictures of common objects: the person who gives the first right answer for each photo gets one point. Let's play!
Update: I've provided the answers - just click on each photo to see them.

Grandpa's games - the inflation game

Using the bills from grandpa's trunk on the previous post, who can tell me, on each of the pictures, the chronological order when the bills went into circulation? For example, of the bill with the 100 denomination, who came first, the Duke of Caxias, Cecília Meireles or Dom Pedro the Second? One point for the first person who can tell the correct order on each picture. An extra point for the person who can tell, of all bills on all pictures, the last ones that were used.
I'm still waiting for answers to last week's game, nobody wants to take a chance? Only two objects were identified until now...

Grandpa's games - points of view

I always enjoyed games that require reasoning: puzzles, logic games, etc, and I hope I can pass this taste to my grandson.
Among the many available games magazines, my favorite is the American Games, which I discovered on my business trips and which has helped me enjoy the time spent on many nights at hotels. And it was from this magazine that I took the idea for creating this post. The pictures are of common objects found here at home, but taken from uncommon angles and positions. Guess what are these objects: a point for the person who guesses each object first, let's see who wins...
Warning: when you click on each photo, you'll see its answer...
