This is not a legal tender instrument and has no standing as currency. "Greed notes" — novelty overprints or redesigns applied to genuine Federal Reserve Notes or printed as standalone items — circulated as political commentary pieces during the early 2000s, typically targeting corporate excess in the wake of Enron and the dot-com collapse. Whether this example is an overprint on a genuine bill or a purpose-printed novelty determines its legal status under 18 U.S.C. § 333, which prohibits defacement of currency with intent to render it unfit for reissuance.
