Various denominations of bills were printed for use in threatened areas during the war. Those for use in Hawaii had brown seals instead of blue or green ink, and the word HAWAII was in large letters on the back.
The special designs allowed them to be easily identified and declared worthless if they fell into enemy hands.
Serial NumbersA bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it. Some collectors specialize in bills with low serial numbers (e.g. 00000005) or unusual patterns (12344321) so these can bring above-average prices.DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.
