 * 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.

Original – 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.

 * I have never created a FP set before. Please let me know if I have made any errors. Thanks--Godot13 (talk) 03:49, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Support Meets the EV and technical criteria. In my opinion, it's also a paradigmatic case of where FP sets are ideally used and benefit the project. Cowtowner (talk) 06:03, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Support A great set of banknotes. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:27, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: could we clarify the copyright please? The underlying note is PD, but it doesn't make much sense to put that in a box entitled "hereby publishes it" because it's not a choice of the uploader. That aside, I assume the CC-BY-SA tag relates tot he photograph or scan - is that the case? If so, could you clarify this on the licencing and also indicate whether it's a photograph or scan. If it's a scan, then whilst a CC-BY-SA tag isn't wrong, it is rendered meaningless: the scan is also in the public domain. If it's a photograph these things probably do attract copyright (being 3D, arranged, etc.) and the tag would make sense. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 17:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It is all public domain due to its status as U.S. Currency. The only reason the additional CC-BY-SA tag is attached is to make every attempt to have the image properly attributed to the Smithsonian Institution. They are scans made by me from the original objects. Technically, the choice to upload was mine as these are otherwise unpublished images. Thanks--Godot13 (talk) 17:38, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * This has been discussed previously. The images are public domain and the CC-BY-SA tag is basically unenforceable. But there is nothing wrong with the uploader adding that tag in an attempt to get reusers to attribute the work to him or the Smithsonian. On a side note, even if these were photographs rather than scans, I do not believe they would give rise to copyright either. These are not 3D objects nor are they arranged in a way original enough to give rise to copyright protections. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:29, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
