Oaken Coins is actively seeking to purchase Hawaiian collectible coins and banknotes, celebrating Hawaii’s unique historical currency. If you own Hawaiian coins or notes, we’d love the opportunity to acquire these rare pieces and preserve Hawaii’s rich numismatic history.

The Hawaiian dollar, or “dala,” was introduced between 1847 and 1898 and circulated alongside U.S. currency. This period produced highly collectible coins and bills, starting with the copper cent featuring King Kamehameha III in 1847, followed by official silver coinage in 1883. These coins, with denominations like the umi keneta (dime), hapaha (quarter), hapalua (half-dollar), and akahi dala (dollar), were issued to align with U.S. coinage standards, adding to their collectible appeal.

Following Hawaii’s 1898 annexation to the United States, Hawaiian coins continued to circulate until they were demonetized in 1904. Many of these coins were subsequently melted, and surviving examples became prized collectibles. In addition to coins, Hawaiian banknotes are highly sought after. The Department of Finance first issued silver deposit certificates in 1879, with additional gold-backed certificates in 1897.

If you have Hawaiian coins or banknotes, Oaken Coins is interested in purchasing them. Contact us today to discuss your collection and contribute to preserving Hawaii’s unique numismatic heritage.
