    Since in Hawaii The alphabet contains 12 letters: 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w). How did the Hawaiian penny from 1847 get the name "Hapa Haneri" ? :cool:

    The problem with that, the same peeps that messed up the penny are the same ones that printed the paper money. :whistle:
