| Comments |
This is not a legal tender banknote and has no issuing authority behind it — the "United States" attribution here is nominal at best. Novelty and fantasy notes of this type are produced by private manufacturers, most commonly in China, for the collectibles and prop market. They carry no Pick number and no central bank lineage.
Polymer construction and oversized dimensions place it firmly in the decorative category. Catalog value is effectively zero beyond what a buyer will pay for the novelty.
