This is not a federal issue. "State of Washington" dollars are local complementary currency — privately organized scrip, not legal tender — and they occupy a long American tradition of community exchange notes that sit entirely outside Federal Reserve jurisdiction. The U.S. has tolerated such instruments provided they don't too closely mimic official currency and aren't used to evade taxes, a line these systems occasionally approach.
The hologram is notable on a non-government issue — most local scrip programs skip sophisticated security features entirely, making its inclusion here either a genuine anti-counterfeiting measure or a design choice meant to confer legitimacy.
