After the Japanese attack, new $1, $5, $10 and $20 notes were printed with a "Hawaii" overprint on the back of the note. However, one of these notes is not like the rest.

jtryka Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I will guess the $1 note is different since it is a silver certificate and the $5, $10 and $20 were all Federal Reserve Notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
