Hi shanew, the print or the cut is not enough shifted for an error note. If something is missing from the print you have a " out box " error. The offset on your bill is within the normal position. I think this bill is $25 - $30 worth. Here are some examples with a similar cut.       |

not enough of an "error" to be a true error, but a nice note nonetheless.

Here is a classic example for a minor " out of box " Error.   |

I defer to the currency collectors to say error or not.
hajduk's older notes have similar letters as yours.
I see A, B and H. Note the similar letters on the lower left hand side as well.
Has SOMETHING to do with plate position, possibly for quality control.
Do you know the history of the Hawaii Note?
Should Japan succeed in occupying Hawaii the notes would be voided.
The US suspected trouble more than six years before the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

The Hawaii notes were not printed until January 1942. The series date (1935A) has nothing to do with the year it was printed.

I'd love to know the history. Still, it suggests the US was afraid of an invasion do you not agree?

I'd agree with that--if Hawaii fell they could declare those notes worthless.
A slight side note, my great-uncle was on the stern of the USS Arizona when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He survived and later served aboard the USS Massachusetts
My other grandfather served in the Navy aboard the Raleigh after it was repaired. He had a photo album showing where all the ship went. He must have carried around a $1 Hawaii note with him too as it is dirty, limp and has a stain.

My great grandfather fought in WW II and he also carried around one of these notes. It is currently in my collection. When I get home, I will post a pic.
