The dollar or dala[1] was the currency of Hawaii between 1847 and 1898. It was equal to the United States dollar and was divided into 100 cents or keneta. Only sporadic issues were made, which circulated alongside United States currency.
^Dala was the spelling used at the time, though during the preparations for minting Edward Preston asked Claus Spreckels whether to spell it dala or kala. Adler, Jacob (April 1966). "Correspondence on the Kalakaua Coinage" (PDF). Hawaiian Historical Review. II (3): 297–300. Retrieved 2018-12-09 – via University of Hawaii at Manoa Library. The spelling in the modern Hawaiian alphabet would be kālā. See Elbert, Samuel H.; Pukui, Mary Kawena (2001). Hawaiian Grammar. University of Hawaii Press. ISBN 9780824824891.
