Here's a nice fantasy dollar, 'illegal tender', 'Not federal reserve', signed by the Treasurer Grim Reaper and secretary of the Treasure Scary Fun: One Hundred Dollars of the United States of Halloween. On the reverse there is a faithful reproduction of 'Interference Hall' with the motto 'In Spirit We Trust'.

Not much more to tell about this fair imitation of an American banknote, but the series number: 2010 A, so I suppose it dates from 2010.

Maybe not. The note is numbered MR 10312016 JB. I think it breaks down to Mister J.B., (Monday) 31st October 2016, which is all hallows eve, the day Halloween is celebrated in most countries that observe it.

The 2010 date may refer to  21st April 2010, when a new type of this denomination was introduced, known as series 2009. It is easy to recognise by being multicolour and having a vertical security strip in the centre. Your note is in fact based on the previous series, introduced in 1969.
