Privately issued paper money has been in use since the colonial times. Individual banks and other companies produced it, and if you trusted that bank, you accepted it. Benjamin Franklin was a noted producer of colonial notes. The U.S. itself did not start producing its own paper money until the Civil War era, in the 1860's

Why is paper money colored?

The people who issue paper money want to make sure that the money cannot be counterfeited (copied) so they use very elaborate printing schemes to make it difficult to copy paper money. They use colour as just one one of the many protection methods you will find on the money. Other methods are using special paper, invisible inks that can only be seen in ultraviolet light, using embossing, watermarked paper and more recently holographic metal threads woven into the paper.
