The "9 Dollars Lib Obstruction Note" is not a legal tender issue but a novelty or protest item — a category sometimes called an "obstruction note" or "lib note," produced outside the Federal Reserve system as a satirical or anti-authoritarian statement. These circulated in countercultural and libertarian communities during the mid-2000s, occasionally turning up in cash transactions as a form of street-level commentary. Possession is generally legal provided no attempt at passing them as genuine currency is made, though that line has been tested in court.
The $9 denomination is deliberate — no such denomination exists in U.S. monetary history, which is precisely the point.
