This is not a genuine United States banknote. No U.S. currency has ever been officially issued with gold plating — the Federal Reserve and Bureau of Engraving and Printing have not produced plated notes at any point in their history. What is described here is almost certainly a novelty or commemorative item, likely a standard Federal Reserve Note altered post-production by a third party and marketed as a collectible. These circulate widely in gift and souvenir channels.
They carry no legal tender status beyond the face value of the unaltered note beneath the plating, and no numismatic premium.
