They will have the word Hawaii in large letters on the back and the seal will be printed in brown ink instead of blue.

However, no US silver certificates were printed IN Hawaii. All HAWAII bills were printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington for use in that territory during WWII.

The government was afraid that if the Japanese captured the islands they would have access to large amounts of American cash that could be copied and counterfeited, used to buy weapons, etc. To protect the standard paper money used on the mainland those special bills were issued for use in Hawaii. Because they had a different and easily-recognized design they could easily be declared worthless if captured.
