During WWII the US printed special bills for use in Hawaii and in the combat zones of North Africa. Each type had a special overprint and different color ink (yellow for North Africa, brown for Hawaii) to make them easy to identify. The idea was that if these bills were captured by the enemy they could easily be declared worthless without disrupting the use of standard currency in non-threatened areas.
These special bills are prized by collectors. As of 01/2011, approximate prices for North Africa silver certificates are:
$1 (1935 A): $10-$20 in average condition; $200 or more if crisp and uncirculated.
$5 (1934 A): $20-$60; $250
$10 (1934): extremely rare - prices range from $1200 to over $10,000
$10 (1934A) : $20-$60; $200
