Hawaii dollar 1935
The 1935 dollar ticket that became a collection piece
The peculiarity of this valuable piece lies in the historical reasons that led to its broadcast. During World War II, given the threat of a possible Japanese invasion to Hawaii, the United States government decided to broadcast these tickets as an emergency measure. The idea was that, given an invasion of the islands by Japan, these tickets were left without value.
As the experts explained, if the occupation occurred, the tickets could be quickly identified and taken out of circulation or cataloged as without value by the US government. Therefore, many of these specimens were destroyed after the threat of the invasion passed, therefore, today they are very difficult to find.
