United States of America 2 Dollars (1995) Cottontail Rabbit Note

Cottontail Rabbit note (also called 'Bunny Money') is a two-dollar bill with the Easter Bunny replacing President Thomas Jefferson's portrait.

The bill, along with its matching gift card and envelope, was available at  Wal-marts and Sam's Clubs in Amarillo on the Easter of 2000. All proceeds from the sale of the currency gift card sets were donated to Children's Miracle Network of Amarillo. The cost of the "Cottontail Currency" was $3.50.

Note that this is a real US$2 bill printed in 1995 with a little sticker pasted over Thomas Jefferson's portrait. 'Bunny Money' is a federal reserve note, bankable and spendable. If you are lucky you can still find it in general circulation. I got this bill in the summer of 2001 in the USA and I still have it in my collection.
