Spotted: A 1935A $1 Silver Certificate with a Hawaii overprint in a dollar store change tray.

These emergency WWII notes were printed for use in Hawaii. If captured by enemy forces, they could be demonetized without affecting mainland currency.

In VF condition, worth about $40-60. Check those change jars.
