The background story is here.

There is no such thing as complete. How about the star notes?

no star notes here.  Way too expensive and not worth the effort for a type collection.  I am not that crazy (or rich) to get every single type of note that was ever issued.

A beautiful collection, Ram. I had a decent size collection of US currency at one time but never any of the Hawaii overstamped pieces. Looked at them many times, but it seems like something else alway caught my eye.

My main interest was in broken banknotes and private scrip. A lot of research opportunities there though it was very difficult to find anything on such obscure banks and companies.

Star notes would be nice.(and expensive).

Thanks Bruce!  While most of my acquisitions are fairly recent, there were several that I collected as a teenager.  But, banknotes are always more expensive, at least the pristine ones, than coins these days.

I included the Series 1934A Silver Certificates with R and S overprints in my set of WW2 US notes. Not emergency issues, but wartime.
My set is well circulated at F-VF. Nice notes though.

The wartime notes are a nice addition to the emergency issues, Elak. It rounds out your collection nicely in my opinion.

Here are some pictures of the US wartime special issues,

Hawaii, and a special issue for US troops in North Africa in 1943.

And, for Peter, here are the North Africa and Hawaii star notes. Collecting the star notes comes as a logical extension of collecting the standard issue dates.

My grandmother saved this Hawaii $10 note:


Hawaii note front


Hawaii note back

I was always interested in the Hawaii notes but never bought one for my currency collection. I had mostly earlier stuff and private scrip. Thanks for showing your examples.

@Quant.Geek
That's a nice set of notes you have. I don't have a full set of these, just an example of each type.
My main interest is Irish notes.
