1934-A, $20 World War II Emergency Note. . Fr-2305. . KL-2524. PCGS New 62 PPQ. Gem quality except for some handling. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, the U.S. government quickly printed these special brown seal, brown serial number HAWAII overprints to replace the regular paper money in the Island territory. These circulated throughout the war, and when the Japanese surrendered, the notes continued in use (they are still legal tender, but no one would spend one today due to the increased value from collectors). A popular adjunct to modern paper money collecting.
Estimated Value $500 - 700.
