Did Hawaii have own money system?

Yes, Hawaii had its own money system before it became a territory of the United States in 1898. The Hawaiian monetary system was based on the Hawaiian dollar, which was divided into 100 cents. The Hawaiian dollar was pegged to the U.S. dollar at a rate of one Hawaiian dollar to one U.S. dollar.

The Hawaiian government issued its own paper money, which was called Hawaiian banknotes. Hawaiian banknotes were printed in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollars. The banknotes featured images of Hawaiian royalty, historical events, and natural landmarks.

In addition to paper money, the Hawaiian government also issued coins. Hawaiian coins were minted in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents. The coins featured images of Hawaiian royalty, the Hawaiian coat of arms, and Hawaiian symbols.

The Hawaiian monetary system was replaced by the U.S. monetary system after Hawaii became a territory of the United States. The Hawaiian dollar was devalued to one-twentieth of its original value, and Hawaiian banknotes and coins were withdrawn from circulation.
