Can anyone ID these strange stamps I found on a $50?

On a more serious note, I've seen the P.C. one before but I don't remember what it means...and the other ones I really have no clue.

The swords look vaguely familiar...

That's what they called a 'Chop mark', most likely from it being from overseas, and at a guess I'd say somewhere in the middle east.
