This is not a federally issued note. Rhode Island has no authority to issue currency — the United States Constitution explicitly reserves that power to the federal government — so any item described this way is almost certainly a novelty or souvenir product, not a circulating or legally tender banknote. No such note appears in any recognized Pick catalog or established numismatic reference for U.S. issues.
The hologram security feature and 2022 date place it squarely in the modern souvenir era, when state-themed fantasy notes proliferated through online retailers.
