Between 1942 and 1944, the US government issued special emergency currency in the state of Hawaii. This came as a result of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. In the event of an enemy takeover, the US needed the ability to declare invalid any currency in the state. Once the war ended, the government began recalling these emergency notes. However, the service members who chose to keep these notes as relics from the war ensured that at least some would survive for collectors to enjoy today. Right now, 1934a $5 Federal Reserve Hawaii Notes in Very Fine condition are available to purchase online from JM Bullion.
Note Highlights:
To separate these $5 Hawaii Notes from standard $5 bills, the green ink typically used for the serial numbers and Treasury seal was switched to brown, and Hawaii overprints were placed on both the front and back of the note. In addition to the $5 note, emergency bills were also printed in $1, $10, and $20 denominations. For the $5 Hawaii bill, a total of 9,416,00 were printed. By April of 1946, the government was actively recalling these notes, as the war had ended and Japan had not invaded Hawaii as some had feared.
When you order 1934a Federal Reserve Hawaii Notes in this online JM Bullion listing, you will receive a genuine piece of legal tender backed by the US government.
