Not now, but there were once real $3 bills in the United States and they were legal tender at the time. This was in the 1850s when private banks and companies were allowed to print their own currency. A number of three-dollar bills were produced, including one featuring an image of Santa Claus in his sleigh.

And bills of various denominations appeared during the Revolutionary War. Called "continentals," they were never backed by currency and soon lost their value.

However, the US Treasury never issued a 3-dollar bill. There was one produced as part of a scam in 1828.
