Not exactly a #CoinCollecting thing but I picked this up today. Hawaii overprint note. I’ve wanted one for a long time. Finally found one. More details in the alt text. #coins #papermoney

@rl_dane They’re pretty awesome. 1935 A series bill that were gathered up, sent to San Francisco, and ran through the printer again in the 1940s to place the HAWAII on them. Then after the war the public was asked to turn them in exchange for regular currency again. Luckily a few folks didn’t and some still survive.
