The 1942 British-American invasion of North Africa is known as Operation Torch. Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia were the invaded countries.
More information is needed. Several countries issued 25¢ coins in 1942. Please look for questions like "What is the value of a 1942 US quarter?", "... Canadian quarter?", etc.
The Hawaiian brown seal $1.00 , $5.00 & $20.00 were issued in the Hawaiin Islands 1942-1944 and were the only currency used. The reason was to guard against invasion contamination of US currency.
It depends on which refrence. 1942 the year or 1942 (how much) dimes
Please take another look at your bill. There were no US bills dated 1942. If it has a yellow seal and the words NORTH AFRICA printed over the design, you have a special note printed for use by troops in that combat zone during WWII. That means it could have been printed in 1942, but the date on the front should say "1934 A" because all US bills carry series dates, not printing dates. As of 05/2013, a North Africa overprint $5 bill would retail for $20 to $60 in circulated condition. Uncirculated ones are much less common and can bring $250 or so.
1942 is a common date for dimes. It's worth a little over $2.
