A modern government issued currency note is not a promissory note, although currency did evolve from the concept of a promissory note.
A promissory note is a promise from a specific individual, group or entity to pay "money" to the noteholder generally within a certain timeframe.
When banks first issued banknotes, they were indeed a promise to pay to the holder in gold or other precious metal (what was then considered "money") in an amount equal to the face value if presented to the bank.
When governments over the issuance of banknotes, the promise remained -- until the gold standard was abolished and the paper notes themselves became "money" rather than just promises for money.
