| Comments |
This is not a state-issued banknote — Alabama has no authority to issue currency, and the United States has not produced denominated paper money at the state level since the Civil War era Confederate and state bank issues. What this almost certainly is: one of the novelty "State of Alabama" souvenir or gift items produced by private publishers, typically sold in tourist contexts, that mimic Federal Reserve Note formatting while substituting state-specific imagery. They carry no legal tender status and were never intended to circulate.
The hologram feature suggests a post-2010 production run. Worth cataloging only as ephemera.
