This is not a Federal Reserve Note or any other U.S. government issue. The United States has never authorized a vertical-format 2 Dollar note, and no official American currency has been produced by Gammaprint in Switzerland. What this almost certainly is: a novelty or fantasy item, sold as a collectible or gift product, printed on paper to banknote-adjacent dimensions but carrying no legal tender status whatsoever.
Gammaprint, based in Luzern, has produced souvenir and promotional "notes" for various markets. Mauro Aurelio's designer credit is consistent with that commercial novelty sector.
