Answer
Hello Syed,                 

What makes you think it is a “US bank note”? Can you send a picture?
These were issued for a board game in the 1960‘s.  
I cannot send too much detail for this answer but here is what I know;

The Milton Bradley game of “LIFE” was re-issued in 1963 and besides some variations in the rules and game play it used Art Linkletter as the announcer. It included his picture on the $100,000 bills, and an endorsement from Linkletter on the box.

It was advertised as a "Milton Bradley 100th Anniversary Game" and as "A Full 3-D Action Game."

The paper money was made in the millions and would be only a novelty at this time.

I hope this information helps.

Good Luck,

PapaJack
