 * Reason: Very high quality, good EV (greater EV viewed as a set). Hawaii overprint notes were issued in $1, $5, $10, and $20 denominations through the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco during World War II. In the event of a Japanese invasion of Hawaii, all notes with the “Hawaii” overprint would be demonetized. Residents of Hawaii were legally required to exchange non-overprint notes for those with the overprint. In order to possess older paper currency, residents needed to obtain a permit/license which listed the serial numbers of the notes they were permitted to keep. Despite the Series date of 1934 and 1935, the overprinted notes were issued beginning June 25, 1942.

 * Reason: Very high quality, good EV (greater EV viewed as a set). Series 1928 United States Notes were the first small-size (i.e., modern-era) banknotes printed in the United States in $1, $2, and $5 denominations only. This set contains the first note printed of each denomination. (Note: The $5 bill was nominated and featured before I was aware that FP sets were permitted. If the set is featured I am not suggesting the $5 be counted again).
