1934a $5 Federal Reserve Hawaii Notes (Very Fine)

Following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States recalled all paper currency in the state of Hawaii. In its place, the Federal Reserve printed emergency Hawaii notes out of fear of a Japanese takeover of the state. If such an event did occur, the US would immediately be able to declare these emergency notes null and void. Today, 1934a $5 Federal Reserve Hawaii Notes are available to you in Very Fine condition online at Silver.com.

Each of these $5 Federal Reserve Hawaii Notes will arrive in Very Fine condition. Upon observation, you may see slight soiling and fold marks on the surface. Each note contains the signature of Treasurer William Alexander Julian and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau and is part of the 1934a series. When they arrive, you will find these notes housed in protective plastic currency sleeves.

On the obverse of these Federal Reserve Hawaii Notes, you’ll see a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. To the left and right of the portrait, the serial number is printed in special brown ink. This ink is also used for the Treasury seal on the right side. The word Hawaii is overprinted vertically on the edges of the note.

The reverse side of 1934a $5 Hawaii Notes features a rendition of the Lincoln Memorial. This image was established when the small-size $5 notes were introduced in 1928 and is still used today. The words The United States of America and Five Dollars are found on the reverse, as well as the overprinting of Hawaii in large capital letters.

As the US was preparing the emergency Hawaii notes, all other paper currency in the state was recalled. The stockpile totaled an estimated 200 million dollars. Given the logistical challenge of transporting the cash back to the mainland, the government decided to burn it in a crematorium. Special mesh coverings were placed over the chimneys to prevent any of the notes escaping and ensure their total destruction. To speed up the process, the US also enlisted the help of the Aiea sugar mill and its furnaces to help burn the notes.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
