<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 566324, member: 4230&quot;]during the war, there was a real threat from Japan, and the US was really worried they would take control of certain parts of the world. Hawaii and North Africa were two areas of particular worries. Notes were issued either counter stamped with Hawaii, or printed with the yellow seal for North Africa. Thsi was doen for one reason... so if the areas were ever taken over by the opposite power, the notes could be deemed worthless on the spot. This would prevent the notes from being taken by the enemy and then redeemed in the US at a later time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
