Payer (His name)
Payable to ______________
For the amount of $____
Payable upon the reinstatement of a lawful currency (i.e., true money, Gold and Silver).

What do you think?
Other than the fact that they wouldn't accept it, there is a risk some smartass might use it to prosecute you for attempting to use a fraudulent promissory note to pay a fine, since FRN's are lawfull currency.
