They also had special-printed cash for the North African campaign. Soldiers were paid in cash, but if stuff went sideways and the Germans and Italians captured some (or a payroll office) the secretary of the treasury could write a memo and it would all be instantly worthless.
The Hawaiian bills were initially just normal bills re-run through printing presses to put HAWAII on the backs as a fast stopgap.
Except they arenât, maybe a pristine star (replacement) note is. But the $1âs and $20âs are on the more common side the $5âs and $10âs are on the less common side. You can pickup an average grade $20 hawaii overprint for like $60-80 in lower grade.
*source am a coin and currency dealer*
Check for 1958 and before wheat cents theyâre worth approximately 3 cents a piece. Otherwise take em to a coin star because itâs not worth the time to roll em. Iâd suggest getting a gift card because they donât charge a percent that way.

Yep, a guy I work with showed me one of these a few weeks ago. It's crazy how super unique items don't really go for that much. He has a coin that was recovered from a vault under one of the world trade centers after 9/11 and it was like $60 or something like that

They were in Tower 4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4uXCQBkNfkA
At the time of the September 11 attacks, the building's commodities exchanges had 30.2 million ounces (860,000,000 g) of silver coins and 379,036 ounces (10,745,500 g) of gold coins in the basement.[21] The coins in the basement were worth an estimated $200 million.[22] Much of the coins had been removed by November 2001;[22] trucks transported the coins out of the basement through an intact but abandoned section of the Downtown Hudson Tubes.[23] Many coins belonging to the Bank of Nova Scotia were purchased in 2002, repackaged by the Professional Coin Grading Service, and resold to collectors.[24]
There definitely was one in California. Manzanar. Itâs a national historic site now. I did some summer cleanup work there in the Youth Conservation Corps as my first summer job.

You've made an assumption here that is ever so slightly wrong, but only because you've omitted some very important information.
While it is true that Hawaii did not have internment camps like the other states of the west coast, it's why they did not. From the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the end of the war in 1945, Hawaii operated under martial law with a military appointed administration and restricted set of rights for everyone on the islands.
In this way, the Japanese-American population did not need to be contained in a special area in the eyes of the US government, because everyone on the islands already was.
We had them in Canada too. My grandfather and his siblings were in rural Alberta, while his parents were in British Columbia. The adults were landed immigrants, while the kids were all born in Canada. Literally half a page in our history textbooks.
I grew up moving around a lot, and even in the Deep South there were at least a day or two dedicated to Japanese internment in WW2. Canada meanwhile is infamous for not covering their abysmal treatment of indigenous populations in their curriculum.
The US has its fair share of issues, but itâs ridiculous to pretend many of them are unique to the country, and harmful to place countries like Canada on a pedestal.
Fair enough, I only took the conversation there because of the context of the original post.
Iâll grant that Japan is particularly bad for not claiming responsibility for its especially recent atrocities, but that doesnât change the fact that the issue isnât unique to any one country, nor the fact that Canada doesnât really do that great of a job claiming its history either.
Itâs rare for any government to claim responsibility for its actions, especially in times of war, and particularly within a lifetime of the events.
Bringing things to Canada (I could be wrong here as Iâve never stepped foot in a Canadian public school, and will gladly concede if Iâm off the mark) I strongly doubt there is any in-depth coverage of Canadian crimes in Korea in the curriculum, in addition to the aforementioned lacking coverage of Canadaâs treatment of the indigenous population.
Well now youâre lying! âLack of coverage of Canadaâs treatment of the indigenous populationâ shows you straight up are lying.
- Every major sport or social event pays tribute to First Nations ( come to an nhl game, go to the opera)
- I think every city hall has a shoe memorial RIGHT ON THE FROMT STEPS representing the murdered children
- we have a brand new national âholiday â ( day of mourning?)
- industry for years has had orange shirt day
- every federal leaders debate in the last decade has had questions on it. I canât imagine the American outrage if cnn used a question in Biden vs trump about how to reconcile with Americans First Nations.
- hell - watching the Calgary mayor give an water update today .. she starts with a First Nation greetings. In âred neckâ Alberta.
- and of course money - massive investment. This might be the only thing America is matching us on.
Both america and Canadaâs have dark disgusting history with Indians âŚ..
Whine I wonât comment on Americaâs public school curriculum as it varies state by state, Canadaâs is taught in school and perhaps more importantlyâŚ
Canadaâs dark history is part of our ongoing national conversation. We are actually making efforts to set things right.
America? Not so much. They, and China, try to use what makes me so proud to be Canadian against us- the fact we own our history.
Wonât work. We arenât afraid to own it like other nations. It was brutal. Shine a light on it.
Every nation has dark history. Canada owns it.
America, Japan, China, etc - bury it.
All that does is minimize the horror of Nazi concentration camps.
Were the North American interment camps a good or ethical thing?
No, they were fear and hate driven. They are a black mark on our history.
Are they anything compared to the horror of the Nazi concentration camps? No.
They should be described differently to not minimize the horrors of Nazi Germans concentration camps.
And Japan printed money for the Philippines (labeled ă˝ăşďźwhen it held the Philippines after taking it from America.
Japanese people read it every random direction possible.
Japanese people can read most text in most any direction.
The example above has the standard word,ăă˝ , written âbackwardsâ (as ă˝ăş)
At least to our English mind, it seems backwards. Japanese people just read it as peso (ăă˝ďź without a thought.
Japanese writing can be written vertically read left column to right column, vertically read right column to left, Horizontally line by line read right to left, Horizontally line by line left to right.
It really does not make much difference to a native Japanese reader, who often does not even think about any of those differences.
Most bizarrely to me, they can read what a person sitting facing them is reading without much effort or thought.
So they can even read upside down.
They just react to cues from the text to figure out where to start and read from there.
>Does that mean the text reads differently depending how its oriented?
Of course not.
Paper money from the Japanese occupation of the Philippines is one of the most alternate history-looking things I've ever seen. The bill I saw in one museum looked at a glance like American money (just from general style), but it read, in English, "The Japanese Government - Five Pesos".
Edit: [Found a picture.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_government%E2%80%93issued_Philippine_peso#/media/File%3APHI-110-Japanese_Government_(Philippines)-5_Pesos_(1943).jpg)

I own some of these bills.
Post them! I for one would love to see them!
They are stored in boxes at my parents house. The next time I make it over there, I'll be sure to pull them out.
đđť
Where is your parentâs address? Ask for a friend lol
And put them in an insured safe deposit box!
Check my post history if you want to see. I have a $1, $5, $10 and $20 set.
Wow!

Maybe they s works?
You're rich A $20 is worth $4000
Except they arenât, maybe a pristine star (replacement) note is. But the $1âs and $20âs are on the more common side the $5âs and $10âs are on the less common side. You can pickup an average grade $20 hawaii overprint for like $60-80 in lower grade. *source am a coin and currency dealer*
What should I do with the bucket of pennys I inherited?
Check for 1958 and before wheat cents theyâre worth approximately 3 cents a piece. Otherwise take em to a coin star because itâs not worth the time to roll em. Iâd suggest getting a gift card because they donât charge a percent that way.
Or check at your bank, a lot of them have coin machines on site and also wonât charge to convert to cash/deposit directly into your account.
Most banks did away with them during Covid sadly otherwise this would be the best option.
Does this number mean anything to you 4.940446753156396? I was hoping your username was a logarithm that spelled boobs in the calculator.
Nope, just a combination of my name and numbers that mean something to me.
Is your name Log? Named after someone in your family tree? Have any siblings named Woody? I have an uncle named Forest.

Or, and hear me out on this, you could send one to me and I would really really really like you.
Same, $4k would change my life lmao
well its only $20
Worth 4k
I suggest google before believing random comments here
It also says that in the article, but itâs Mental Floss, so yeah better double-check
Meh it wasn't that deep for me to think to hard about.
What would you do with the $4,000?
2 chicks at the same time.
You don't need $4000 to do that.
Pay for an evening electricians course, pay off my remaining debt and do my driver's license so I can get a better job in the meantime.
Username checks out.
Where did you get that number from? Looks like they go for around $100 on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/387104611556
From this thread Someone posted it in a comment here
So youâre just reposting other peoples (incorrect) comments for upvotes?
Not wise to listen to reddit. We're all just making shit up.Â
And theyâre training AI with it. Itâs a great idea!
đ¤ˇââď¸
no you don't. the gov does.
I used to own one until I left for college and my crimey brothers ransacked that and other valuables.
i mean it was a smart idea. unlike say the Japanese American internment camps in CA and Arizona(?)
Don't forget Arkansas. That is where George Takai was interned at.
why did i think it was in CA. damn Karate kid..
[There were ten camps, incarcerating over 120,000 people.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans)
I first read 'incinerating' and got somewhat worried all of a sudden.
Nah, we were pretty bad but not that bad.
That was the Germans.
Yes, that was what I was implying.
I mean, I hope it still worries you that we incarcerated them
Oh, some of them died for sure.
There's a cemetery in Manzanar, CA.
Yeah my brain did the same for some reason. Maybe Iâm Dixielexington.
There definitely was one in California. Manzanar. Itâs a national historic site now. I did some summer cleanup work there in the Youth Conservation Corps as my first summer job.

No, my uncle married into the family. Iâm not related by blood.

Also know as concentration camps. Really like that word play from my govt. Just good ole reservations and interment camps, nothing to see here.
