Description

The 1934 series of United States currency holds a unique place in history, particularly the notes overprinted with "HAWAII". These special notes were issued shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor as a contingency measure. The idea was that if Hawaii were to fall into enemy hands, these easily identifiable notes could be declared worthless, thus preventing the enemy from benefiting from captured U.S. currency. These notes were printed in several denominations, including the $10 bill, and feature the word "HAWAII" printed on both the face and back. The series is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relative scarcity. The $10 Hawaii notes feature a portrait of Alexander Hamilton, one of America's founding fathers and the first Secretary of the Treasury.
