1934 emergency 5 dollar note stamped Hawaii across back and in the front good condition is it worth anything?
If it's dated 1934, about $70-$80. 1934A, about $80-$90. When Hawaii was attacked at the start of WW2, the Treasury took quantities of 1934-dated bills and overprinted them for use within the territory of Hawaii. The idea was that these bills could be quickly demonetized if the islands were invaded, preventing their use by the Japanese.
