Not a legal tender instrument by any measure — this is a novelty item, almost certainly produced as a collectible or gift product rather than anything intended to circulate. The "Patriotic Reserve Note" designation appears on various privately printed fantasy pieces that emerged in quantity after September 2001, riding a wave of commercial patriotism with no official connection to the U.S. Federal Reserve or Treasury.
The designer credit "A. Ross" does not correspond to any known U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing staff engraver, reinforcing the private manufacture origin. Catalog value is negligible; interest is purely as ephemera.
