As of 01/2015, Hawaii-overprint bills retail for $10 to $40 in circulated condition. A nice uncirculated one can sell for $135 or more.
Despite the word HAWAII and a 1935 date, these bills were actually printed in Washington DC during WWII. The government was afraid that if the Japanese invaded the islands, any currency they stole could used to destabilize the US economy. The Treasury's solution was to replace standard $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills in that territory with special versions that had brown seals and HAWAII overprinted on both sides. If Hawaii had been captured its special currency could be declared worthless without affecting bills used on the mainland.
