The only modern US bills to carry overprinting were special notes printed for use in Hawaii and in North Africa during WWII. The Hawaii bills were printed with brown ink and had the name HAWAII in large letters on both sides. They supplanted regular US currency in daily commerce. Those for North Africa were printed with yellow ink and had NORTH AFRICA on both sides. They were used to pay soldiers serving in that combat area.

The use of special colors and overprinting made the bills easy to spot, and would have allowed them to be declared worthless if captured by the enemy while letting standard bills remain in circulation on the US mainland.
