What does the lizard symbolize in Hawaiian culture?
Hawai'i, like other Polynesian cultures, has a long association with mo'o (i.e., Aotearoa/New Zealand taniwha). These creatures are not strictly lizards, but rather lizard-like beings that may possess shape-shifting and other magical abilities. Mo'o are usually seen as guardians of a particular area or community. They have both male and female forms, and can be perceived as being both benevolent and malicious. Mo'o are famous all over Hawai'i, and each island has its own particular set that are both well-known and well-respected. For example, on O'ahu island, Hauwahine is known as the guardian of Kawainui and Kailua.

Where do you redeem old US money?
More information is needed. Are you referring to coins or bills? By "old", are you referring to items from the 1950s or the 19th century?
You'll first have to determine whether what you have is worth more for its collector value or, if they're coins, for their metal value. The only way to do that is to have them appraised by a dealer or someone else who is trained to know the difference. The age of a coin or bill doesn't always correlate with its value - some very old coins aren't worth much, and some relatively new ones are very expensive.
Then you'll have to decide how you want to handle the sale. If what you have appears to be worth more than face value, you should get a couple of competing estimates to make sure what you're being offered is a fair price. You have to accept the fact that a dealer will pay wholesale, which might be half or 2/3 of the price shown in a retail price guide. Alternately you could try to sell the items via eBay or a similar site; you could get more for them but you have the hassle of selling them individually and assuming payment risk.
The absolute worst thing to do is to give up and just go to a bank, or even more expensively, one of those coin-counting machines like you see in supermarkets. Banks will only give you face value, and those machines actually steal money by keeping 9 or 10 cents of every dollar you put in as a "service fee". Either way, you could lose big time. I have heard any number of horror stories of people who took a bag of "dirty old pennies" or whatever to a bank and got face value for them, then the tellers went through and skimmed out the collectible coins for a nice profit.
Is there an apostrophe in Hawaii?
You must remember that Hawaii has its own language separate from English, and some things are different. The punctuation mark used in the Hawai'ian language (just used it) is not the English apostrophe. Properly known as a glottal stop, it is used when you have paired vowels, to indicate a full pronunciation of each letter. Used formal communication, it is a key to properly speaking some Hawaiian words- so you know that it is not ha-wahi, but ha-wah-i.

How do you say blizzard in Hawaiian?
