| | | Hawaii Japanese Invasion Bank Notes | Following the
crippling attack on
the U.S. Pacific
Fleet at Pearl Harbor
(December 7, 1941)
and fearing an
invasion, the United
States for the first
time ever, 'isolated'
the currency. Within
several
months "HAWAII"
overprinted One
Dollar Silver
Certificates were
introduced, including
special brown seals
instead of the
traditional blue. By
15th August of the
same year no other
currency could
circulate. In the
event that these One
Dollar notes would
fall into enemy
hands, these obvious
stand-outs would
prevent their being
used. These represent
an integral part of
American paper money
history.
