Best Answer

The US has never printed bills with silver-colored seals. Bills called silver certificates were issued with blue seals, which may be what you're thinking of.

Silver certificates were backed 1-for-1 with a dollar's worth of silver in the US Treasury. They were eliminated in the 1960s when the price of silver rose and it was no longer possible to back the bills with a fixed amount of metal.
