    So I was playing Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, a PC game, and at one point I'm in a train robbery with a bunch of bills fluttering around.
    I managed to grab two screenshots of the mystery bills, but it was difficult with all of the fluttering going on.
    Any ideas what bill it (should) be?
    For reference, the particular scene takes place in 1901.
    (I rotated the images to make the bill rightside up)

    It's just movie money, designed to look moderately genuine.

    Nope. It's the Decateur $20 1880's silver cert with small red seal at bottom. Good eye! IMG_3887.JPG

    In your original post, it was a mirror image, which no genuine note would ever be. Oh, well.

    Nice! The only difference is that there's a red seal underneath the "Silver Dollars" instead of a red XX.
    Looks like it's period correct as well!

    XX = 20... Roman Numerals ;)

    Yes, that's why he pointed out that it's the "small red seal" version. See this Heritage lot, for example. This version only comes with Bruce-Wyman signatures, which dates it mid-1880s.
