Not a pick find but still cool. My dad passed away this spring and I was going through some of his stuff. He had an envelope with a bunch of money in it. This was one of them. During WW2 the US was concerned Japan would invade Hawaii. To keep the cash from falling into their hands they printed this money and traded it for all of the unmarked bills. If Japan had invaded then the bills marked Hawaii would be deemed useless. The envelope also had a bunch of $1 silver certificates and some 1928 series $2 notes. There are quite a few $1 bills from the mid 40's to mid 50's that my grandfather saved from Optimist Club luncheons. He marked each one with "Mr Greenback" and the date.
