Andrew W Mellon served as Treasury Secretary from 1921 to 1932, so that is the era of the bill represented on your case.

 

As far as when your piece was made, I don't know, but I did find anecdotal evidence of them being around during WWII.

That's pretty cool there Dooly...looks like a real bill was used for a model, compressed but realistic.

 

edit: the engraver did not plan ahead on the reverse of the bill, the "E" was left out of AMERICA!

That's not a cigarette case! Its a Chinese counterfeit die, to make counterfeit bills! They scrapped this one because of the spelling errors.
