    A friend of mine, just the other day, gave me a $1 Hawaiian note. Series 1935 A. Is this worth much? It's got a handwritten date and some typed notation and date on the obverse. Obviously circulated.

    in that condition face value is all it would be worth. still a nice note to have. it looks like it has a stamped date and a written date on it. i was lucky to pick one up in CU. they can get expensive in high grades. enjoy

    June 6th 1944 was The invasion of Normandy, "The longest Day" It's too bad so many young people don't remember that. That bill might be worth more than you may think..

    When I first got this bill, I had the feeling that it was owned by a sailor going off to war from Hawaii to the Pacific theater of WW II. I hope he made it back in better condition than this bill.

    $20 sounds about right, worth more than face.

    well i guess on ebay there might be a small premium because of the age and semi rarity of the bill

    But Hawaii notes were not used in Europe, they used the "North Africa" notes, with the yellow seal.

    I would say without the writing, I've seen those for around $35, in that condition.

    My plan all along was to keep it. I collect but don't seem to sell much.

    Thanks for all the info and advice.
