No such note has ever been issued by the United States government. The U.S. has never produced a $1,000,000 denomination in any era of federal currency. What this almost certainly is: a novelty or fantasy item, likely produced for the gift or souvenir trade, using da Vinci's image under the broad banner of "collectible curiosity." These pieces carry no monetary value, no legal tender status, and no issuing authority in any meaningful sense.
Cataloging it as a U.S. issue is a category error. Buyer awareness required.
