The idea was that if the Japanese successfully invaded Hawaii, the US could devalue (to zero) these notes and prevent any invaders from using the currency.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one such note given to me by a friend who spent WWII in the Pacific Theatre. It&#039;s not it great condition, but I&#039;ll never sell it, too much history behind it.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Green">Merry</span> <span style="color: Red">Christmas</span> eve to all[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
