The "State of Hawaii" overprint series dates to World War II, when the U.S. Treasury ordered specially marked notes for use in the Hawaiian Islands following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The logic was containment: if Japan invaded and captured currency reserves, the overprinted notes could be demonetized immediately, rendering any seizure worthless. The 1935A Silver Certificates and Series 1934A Federal Reserve Notes were the primary vehicles for that program.
A 2022-dated $100 with a Hawaii overprint is not part of that wartime issue. No such note exists in any official series.
