Description: Remember Pearl Harbor 1935 A US Silver Certificate $1 Hawaii Overprint Note Collage Authentic Overprint $1 Note is floating in this acrylic collage. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 brought with it considerable fear of imminent invasion, not only of Hawaii, but of the United States West Coast. The immediate concern was that Japan would land troops in Hawaii, with the United States powerless to stop her, as she had done all over the Pacific, from New Guinea and Singapore to the Philippines. Accordingly, the Treasury needed to empty the islands of all American currency, lest the islands fall to the Japanese and large amounts of paper money with them. The Treasury decided to replace all the currency then circulated in the Hawaiian Islands with special notes overprinted with the word "HAWAII". Accordingly, this specially marked paper money was introduced in Hawaii in July 1942 with each note overprinted with the large word "HAWAII" horizontally across the back, and in smaller letters twice vertically at either end of the face. Collage includes Authentic Note, inscribed "Remember Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7th 1941, Story card and stand. $8.95 USPS priority padded envelope. Collage shown is what you will receive.
