'''Promotional United States fake currency''' is faux "currency" that makes no assertion of being [[legal tender]]. This money is often created by individuals as a way to promote [[practical joke]]s, or social statements. It is legal to print so long as it makes no assertion, whether by appearance or statement, of authenticity. Other types of coins have been similarly miniaturized before and since as souvenirs or collectors' items. Various fake US$3 bills have also been released over time. These generally poke fun at politicians or celebrities such as [[Richard Nixon]], [[Michael Jackson]], [[George W. Bush]], both [[Bill Clinton|Bill]] and [[Hillary Clinton]], and [[Barack Obama]] in reference to the idiomatic expression "queer as a three-dollar bill" or "phony as a three-dollar bill". In the 1960s, ''[[Mad (magazine)|Mad]]'' printed a $3 bill that featured a portrait of [[Alfred E. Neuman]] and read: "This is not legal tender—nor will a [[Meat tenderizer|tenderizer]] help it." ''Mad'' writer [[Frank Jacobs]] said that the magazine ran afoul of the [[US Secret Service]] because the $3 bill was accepted by [[change machine]]s at [[casino]]s.

The United States has never issued a million dollar bill. However, many businesses print million dollar bills for sale as novelties. Such bills do not assert that they are legal tender. The [[United States Secret Service|Secret Service]] has declared them legal to print or own and does not consider them [[counterfeit]]. The [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]] makes an annual tradition of handing out informational fliers made to look like $1,000,000 bills on April 15 to draw attention to its anti-[[income tax]] platform. A notable example of a 7 figure bill is currency from ''[[The Mad Magazine Game]]'' which features a $1,329,063 bill that serves as an [[Old Maid]] in the game. Players compete in this game to lose all their money. The bill features a portrait of [[Alfred E. Neuman]].
