My father gave me this one dollar bill when I was a young boy and told me to hold on to it. What I found out about this dollar in short was in 1942 these brown seal U.S. $1 note were a emergency issue to be used in Hawaii and were stamped Hawaii in case of a Japanese invasion and capture of U.S. currency. they would easily be reconized and demontized.

Nice :). These bills are quite collectible and generally fetch $75 in uncirculated condition, in this condition you could expect $30-50.
I knew these were out there, but have never had or held one. I would be willing to trade a dollar with you.
After all, I was aboard a ship in Pearl Harbor, on December the 7th, twice. (two different years.)
AR8Jason, How many dollars did you say you want to give me. There was a time I could have used that dollar and bought 5 gal's of gas for my 1951 Chevy.
MathiasR, Thanks for the information.
One for one. I would say two for one, but I don't know if you have another one?
As a teenager, I got my hair cut at a barber that had comic books in the store. People could bring in one they were through with and take one home. A one for one swap. Someone felt they were really getting a good deal, because they were bringing in 10 cent comics and taking 25 cent comics home. I was bring in 25 cent comics, and taking all the "good" 10 cent ones home.
A lot of good it did, as my parents got rid of them while I was off in the Navy. Oh well.
I only have the one, I have heard that Hawaii was stamped on the two, five, ten and twenty dollar bills. You remember the two dollar bills the Navy use to issue on payday?
No two dollar bills when I was in were used by dispersing. We got a Govt. Check, which we could cash if we wanted to or cash it ashore. Usually I cashed my ashore, the lines were shorter. Overseas it seems that they called away PayDay and locations, and you could draw all or part of your pay and leave there rest on the books. My first WestPac, I came home with enough money to pay off my car.
The First Class who sleep below me, had a stack of checks that had to be more than a years worth. At home port he stayed at moms with his cat. Off duty he drank and smoked until around 11 pm and would call it a night. He spent very little money, and was divorced with no kids.
The $2.00 were reissued in 1976, before my time, and many companies paid with them to show the impact of their payroll, and likely the Navy tried that as well for a time. Before my time.
They stamped all denominations as a war time measure. After the war, they likely worked to get these out of circulation, every time one hit a bank, the bank would send it to be destroyed and replaced. That is why there are not thousands of these floating around the streets today.
When I was in the Army from 1961 to 1964, we were paid once a month on the first day of that month and in was in cash. two dollars bill was the lowest denomination issued. Also the two dollar bill showed what impact the military payroll had on the German ecommonity. I wonder what year the military went to checks and twice a month pay.
They also issued bills for the North African campaign,they had a yellow seal but no other id on the back
I have a series 1935A brown note I am willing to sell. I live in Richmond Ky. If interested. Email me at shaunduaneowens@yahoo.com
I am willing to trade it to some silver quarters. I also have a 1953 seriesC red note two dollar bill for sale. If interested just email me.
Shaun, Thanks for asking, but this Hawaii dollar will go to my daughter some day.
I have one for sale or trade. I want an old pocket watch at least a 15 jewel
This is really, really cool! Thanks for sharing the pics!!
I have of these left to me by my deceased father.
Thank you JDimmock, Jole, Ivan
The Silver Certificate HAWAII bill I have was stamped on the USS Missouri at the signing of the armistice. It has the date (Se[t 2, 1945) and stamped at 45 degree angles off the front left and the date (Sept 2, 1845) and stamped at 45 degree angles off the right side. Both stamps have NAVY at the bottom. My Dad said they were stamping these for the Navy guys as souvenirs that day. His service was as Radioman 3rd Class on the USS Caulk, tied up next to the USS Missouri that day (along with quite a few others, I suspect). The fact that the years are "off" by a digit relative to one another reflects to me, perhaps a rotating stamp that lost it's place. (If you have ever used these old style stamps (like the supermarkets utilized through the 1970's to mark products with) you would understand how easily they could have moved off a digit to reflect a different date.
(By the way, this HAWAII & armistice stamped bill reflect the genuine four year stamp date, unlike the fake two year stamp date that O'bama's crew made up for his fake Hawaii Birth Certificate.)
The Japanese Instrument of Surrender was the written agreement that enabled the Surrender of Japan, marking the end of World War II. It was signed by representatives from the Empire of Japan, the United States of America, the Republic of China, the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Dominion of Canada, the Provisional Government of the French Republic, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Dominion of New Zealand on the deck of the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945.
Additionally, I just posted two pictures of this on Show & Tell if you know how to look that up, under the title in US Currency, Silver Certificates as
HAWAII ONE DOLLAR BILL STAMPED ON USS MISSOURI
ARMISTICE DAY SEPTEMBER 2nd 1945
Any ideas of it's validity or value?
Thanks Kavash, I saw your Hawaii dollar bill and its a nice one to hold on to. I was offered $75.00 for the one I have, yours could bring even more with the history behind it.
