I've heard the term 2 bits all my life from family to t.v. which I already knew it was a quarter of a dollar. I knew they had 1 bit coins and or pieces, but did not know anything about Hawaii having coins! It never entered my mind. Very good to know about the history of some of Hawaii's coins!! Have a GREAT Day!!!
Absolutely! The Kingdom of Hawaii issued fairly low mintage (relative to other large populations) and featured two of Hawaii's Kings, Kamehameha III and King Kalakaua. A key factor to keep in mind was that the Kingdom of Hawaii was illegally overthrown by the a small group of US businessmen and the US Marines under the threat of bloodshed. After the overthrown, Queen Liliuokalani went to Washington to visit President Grover Cleveland to implore him to order that the Kingdom of Hawaii be unoccupied and the throne returned to Her Majesty. President Cleveland immediately issued a written proclamation to Congress, and spoke on the floor of Congress advising that an immediate investigation should be initiated, and if the events that transpired were illegal, the US would vacate Iolani Palace, and allow Her Majesty to return to the throne. The investigation took several months by a US delegate. The delegate's report clearly advised that the efforts of the US businessmen and the US Marines were illegal, and the US was illegally occupying the Kingdom of Hawaii. He ends by advising Congress to return Her Majesty to the throne, and take any steps necessary to rectify the relationship between the two great nations. Sadly, a vote was held in Congress, and due to the Kingdom of Hawaii's strategic military location, Congress elected to rule against President Cleveland and the investigation, and instead chose to annex the Kingdom now that they had boots on the ground and obtained military control. The process happened in only a few short years, by 1893, the Kingdom of Hawaii was ripped away from the Hawaiian people and the Royal family, and Americans began melting and destroying Hawaiian currency. The nation's flag was lowered while playing Hawaii's national anthem and cut into strips and handed out to local Hawaiian citizens to remind them that no country could stand in the way of the United States. The US flag was raised to the top of Iolani Palace while the Star Spangled Banner played in the background. The events that occurred in the Kingdom of Hawaii inadvertently impacted the rarity and value of the remaining Hawaiian currency. You'll also notice that close to 80% of Hawaiian coin currency has been improperly cleaned or whizzed. Due to Hawaii's climate and sea water, many of the coins suffered oxidation and coloring. When locals would find the coins, they felt restoring the coin to show the bust of His Majesty was the proper thing to do. Today, very few Hawaiian coins are still in MS/BU grade status. Just remember, if you purpose a Hawaiian coin, remember what that coin's history represents. A Kingdom, a Crown, and a Nation was ripped apart and destroyed around the same period of that coins mintage. Hold on to it with remembrance, of what the Kingdom of Hawaii once was. A constitutional monarchy with a Constitution, government, military, highest literacy rate in the world, treaties with over 70-nations, and a culture, language, and way of life that was destroyed by greed and circumstance. The point is, these coins are VERY special. They are one of the few items that saw and witnessed the overthrow and illegal annexation of Hawaii Nei.
You seem to very knowledgeable of these coins. I have two 1883 Hapawalu Coins and one ONE DIME coin. I'm not a coin collector and these happen to be gifted to me. I don't know if I should be taking care of these coins or just tossing them in back of a drawer. Any advice you can give me
@@dariussalgado3421 Absolutely take care of them! The coins from the Hawaiian Kingdom are actually quite rare in any denomination. After the US tried to melt and destroy the currency after the overthrow, a small % was kept by Hawaiian citizens and carried over from generation to generation. Sadly, most of the Kingdom’s coins are in poor condition due to lack of care, inculcation, and locals finding them from 1920-2000 and improperly cleaning them after being found. If you have these coins, hang onto them or consider getting them encapsulated and graded. You hold history in your hands 🙌 🤙🏾
I'm not really into coins. I kinda want to get rid of them. But I don't know about getting them checked or what not. Your right. They don't look well taken care of. But everything is still legible. Do you know of anywhere I can sell them or get them looked at.
I don't know anyone who doesn't love Hawaii!! I had no idea these awesome coins and history behind them existed!! You've done it again J&B, you amazed me with these coins and history!! Love this video!! Thank you!!
I have to talk to my friend who moved here from Hi. May have to go visit some other friends too. Never realized Hi coins were so unique. Thanks again as always for all the great information and knowledge you share.
I didn't know Hawaii has their own coins. I've never been there, but now have a reason to go and look for these coins! Another great informational video J & B!
Love to see you getting into foreign coins you have so much knowledge I may have never known without your help I need to go to my foreign coins and look for valuable coins for Hawaii I love to see people looking for foreign coins more now and finding rare coins and silver coins
My cousin lives in Maui. Time to ask her to find me some Hawaiian coins! I’ve been there 8 times and have never seen a Hawaiian coin! I had no idea, thanks!
Amazing....I didn't know that Hawaiian coins were so valuable. I would love to have some of those coins. My plan is to visit Hawaii one day. Thank you for that great info JBCOINS.
Thats impressive. I never knew they had there own currency. This is why I watch JBcoins. I learn something new every video or show. Thanks Mr J and Mrs B. God Bless
The information you posted about Hawaiian coins was really interesting. Yup it was super cool ! I never knew they could be worth soooo much! THANKS J and Mrs B. :)
The closest thing we have to a Hawaiian coin is the state quarter. 😆 We have have to keep an eye out for some of these to add to the boys collection. Thanks J and B.
Very cool thank you I'm learning a little more about foreign coins came across some really cool lire at my sisters house ...and I have never even knew Hawaiian coins existed!! Thank you so much 💜
Very good information about Hawaii coins. I doubt I'll come across any of them but if I do I know where to look. How wonderful it would be to have and sell these beautiful coins especially the 1883. Love the one with the women in the old time dress.
I have a few Hawaii coins, none in these grades but i love them and continue to collect them. There is a waterfall that kids used to throw coins off of for good luck back in the late 1800s, some have been found at the bottom of waterfalls. Years back, the banks used to give these out to good clients too.
Very excited about video. Beautiful coins interesting names good job with pronunciation. Have family members with coins from Hawaii. Can't wait to send them video
Thank you for the great info, it's hard for me to find the Hawaiian coins where I'm at, but I will always keep an eye out for them thank you for the great info.
I would love to have some Hawaii’s coins! I didn’t realize they were worth so much money! I knew they had their own coins hundreds of years ago, but I assumed that they used our American money in the last hundred years or so! Very interesting to learn about the Hawaiian coins, and, like I said before, sure wish I had some! Thanks J&B for the informative and very interesting video!
Very interesting, in the 50ys I've been collecting I have never came across one at least that I can remember. Thanks J& B now I will keep a look out but don't seem to find older coins like I use too, unless they have a big price.
Like others here, I thought they used US currency. I wish I was in Hawaii right now looking for these coins to add to my collection. Really glad I found J & B coins - lots of great information!
Wow! I am collecting the wrong state coins lol. Some very low mintages with these coins. I am definitely gonna keep an eye out for these. Thanks for the info! Great video and content. Thanks again Mr J & Mrs B!!
Very interesting video. Knew about the relationships between Hawaii and the US, but not about all the coins! And definitely not how much they are worth!
An education as usual. Interesting denomination. Plantation coins were neat. And to think I thought that was just the name of the club in Magnum P.I. Nice vid JB.
All the videos that I have watched I have never seen anything on Hawaii coins. This was a really great History lesson and so much more. I don't think I will find them in pocket change but that would be wonderful. I do have the war Hawaii 1935 currency. I love those. I'm just amazed that no one that I watch has caught on to this. Thanks ever so much for your videos and especially this one. It went into my playlist. Your channel is listed as a featured channel on my channel and my playlists. WTG!!! You and the Mrs. really did an awesome job on this one and so many others. Thanks so very much for your research and constant commitment to all of your fans. Bravo!!!!

The Wikipedia article "Kalākaua coinage" states that the 1893 coins were struck at the San Francisco mint.
Very nice i would so love to have one of these coins
I just recently found a gold Hawaii coin ..very beautiful
I wish I knew if mine was worth anything could u help me
