Australia Fanning Island Plantations 1 Pound 1942-43
Fanning Island, one of the British Line Islands of the Gilbert & Ellice Is. Colony, 1000 Miles south of Hawaii, was a relay station of the Cable between Vancouver and Sydney. WWII conditions made it impossible to forward stores & currency from Sydney so 1000 notes from 1000 number were printed in Hawaii. The notes were withdrawn in 1945. The defaced Halves were used as admission tickets to the Movies by plantation workers.
