- Notes: After the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, the U.S. government became highly concerned about the possibility of a full scale Japanese invasion of Hawaii. As this would have allowed the Japanese to seize a large amount of U.S. dollars from financial institutions and private individuals on the islands, an emergency issue of paper currency was enacted for use specifically in Hawaii. These notes were overprinted with "HAWAII" in black ink, so that they could be recognized and rendered useless in the event of an invasion.
