During WWII special bills were printed for use by citizens in Hawaii and by troops in North Africa. They used special seal colors - brown for Hawaii and yellow for North Africa - and had those regions' names overprinted in large letters. The intent was to make the bills easy to spot so they could be declared worthless if either region had been captured by the enemy.

HAWAII bills can be moderately valuable. As of 11/2011 retail prices are $10 to $40 in average condition. A nice uncirculated one can bring $135.

Note: All WWII $1 bills were dated 1935 despite being issued in the 1940s. Other denominations were dated 1934.
