5 Dollars - Joe's B & B Chetek, Wisconsin

Trade tokens and small merchant scrip occasionally appeared as paper certificates, but a 36 × 32 mm paper note from a bed and breakfast in Chetek, Wisconsin is genuinely unusual — that's smaller than most postage stamps. Chetek is a small lakes-area town in Barron County; the note almost certainly functioned as a promotional device or in-house credit rather than anything approaching general circulation. The denomination of five dollars against that physical scale suggests novelty intent from the outset.
