This is not a federal issue. Indiana is one of several US states that have authorized their own supplemental currency programs, and the "State of Indiana" denomination sits in a peculiar legal grey zone — technically permissible under certain gift certificate and complementary currency statutes, but not legal tender in the constitutional sense. These notes circulate, if at all, within closed or semi-closed exchange networks rather than through normal commerce.
The hologram security feature is an unusual investment for what is essentially a local scrip instrument, suggesting either serious intent or, more likely, a collectible or commemorative purpose driving the print run.
