Acquire a unique piece of American history with a rare WWII ‘North Africa’ $1 Bill. During the ‘Operation Torch’ campaign led by Dwight D. Eisenhower against German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in North Africa in November 1942, U.S. troops carried special currency. Operation Torch marked the first major involvement of U.S. troops in the European-North African theater of World War II. It was a significant Allied military operation aimed at liberating French North Africa from Axis control.
To prevent large amounts of U.S. money from falling into enemy hands, the U.S. issued emergency banknotes specifically for use by troops in that region. These 1935A series bills featured a yellow seal instead of the typical blue seal found on Silver Certificates. If captured by the enemy, these bills could be easily demonetized and rendered worthless.
