I don't see why it would be fake. Different countries have issued banknotes with all sorts of paper thicknesses and textures.
My old Pick banknote catalogue dates from 1986 so it's pretty useless for accurate values, but it gives a value of $1.50 in VG, $7.50 in VF. The design was issued with dates ranging from 1944 to 1950. It's number 35 in the catalogue, and DK-35 on the
banknotes.com website.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
