What does money in Hawaii look like?
Hawaii is a state of the United States of America so the currency is the U.S. Dollar. The standard U.S. five dollar bill features a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and is green, with light purple shading. From 1847 to 1898, the islands of Hawaii issued their own currency. This currency, called the dala, was exactly equal to the value of the U.S. Dollar. In 1903, five years after Hawaii was annexed by the U.S., congress demonetized the money and melted down the coins. Today, Hawaiian dala coins are very rare and collectible. No dala coins were issued in denominations of $5. In 1895, the Republic of Hawaii issued silver and gold certificates of deposit in denominations from $5 to $100. These are somewhat like modern day dollar bills, and they are extremely rare. For example, only three Hawaiian $10 gold certificates are known to exist, and one of them recently sold for $268,000! There are two versions of the Hawaiian five dollar note: one for gold, and one for silver. The gold $5 certificate is gold colored, with an engraving of the Iolani Palace in the center, a bull on the right side of the certificate, and a portrait of an unknown woman known as Haidee on the left side. The font and linework used on the bill looks almost identical to modern U.S. banknotes. The silver $5 certificate is blue and silver colored, and features a native Hawaiian man kneeling on the beach on the right side, a palm tree on the left side, and an engraving of a building in the middle. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what that building is supposed to be. Look under Related Links for pictures!

What is Hawaii's environment like?
If you have tons of money then its great but if you have nothing then it sucks because everything is so expensive.

So, there are a lot of people!
