| Comments |
Pennsylvania is one of several U.S. states that have produced "colonial replica" or commemorative notes for the collector market, but this particular piece warrants scrutiny before cataloging assumptions are made. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania issued no legal tender currency in 2022 — monetary issuance being a federal prerogative since the National Currency Acts of the 1860s. A note denominated in dollars bearing Pennsylvania's name and a 2022 date is almost certainly a novelty, souvenir, or fantasy piece, not a government-authorized instrument of any kind.
The hologram security feature is consistent with novelty production intended to mimic legitimacy rather than achieve it.
