After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the US had fears that Japan would overrun Hawaii. If this occurred, large sums of currency could be captured and used to fund their war effort. So, the US decided to issue the same $1 Silver Certificates, $5, $10 and $20 Federal Reserve Notes as used on the mainland, but with a brown seal and serial numbers and overprinted with the word "HAWAII" twice on the front and in large block letters on the back. Because these notes were distinctive, it would make it easy for the US to demonitize the notes if large amounts fell to the enemy. Later in the war, these notes were used in the US held Pacific Islands for the same reasons.

Series 1999 $10 Federal Reserve Notes have a complete redesign after almost 70 years of small size notes. The notes have a new enlarged portrait of Andrew Hamilton with a watermark of the portrait to the right of the Treasury Seal. They also feature micro-lettering at the base of the portrait, microlettering inside the "10" printed on the lower-left corner, and the number "10" printed in dichroic ink (dichroic ink causes visible light to be split up into distinct beams of different wavelengths and colors) on the lower right side of the note. A plastic strip glows orange under ultraviolet light is embedded to the left of the Universal Federal Reserve Seal. The Federal Reserve Seal is changed to a universal Federal Reserve Seal and printed in black. The serial numbers are also different. They feature an initial letter "B" (Newly designed notes of Series 1996 had the initial letter "A") followed by the letter designating the Federal Reserve District. Just below the serial number on the left side, the district letter and number are printed in black ink.
