Cashing in a US silver certificate is almost never a wise idea. Banks aren't allowed to pay any premium for collectible bills or coins they receive; you'd only get face value for your bill.

You first need to find out what your bill might be worth. Most common silver certificate values have been estimated on this site. First determine its date and denomination, then look for questions in the form "What is the value of a [date] US [$$] dollar silver certificate?", e.g. "What is the value of a 1953 US 10 dollar silver certificate?"

If the bill's value is more than a couple of dollars above its face value you might be able to sell it privately to a collector or on a site like eBay. If its value is substantially higher, it would be worthwhile having the bill evaluated in person by an expert dealer or appraiser before trying to sell it. Truly valuable bills might bring more if put up for auction.

How do you cash in a 1 dollar us silver certificate?

To "cash in" means to take the bill to a bank. They're only required to give you $1 in current coins or bills, but not silver. The government stopped printing silver certificates in the mid 1960's when the price of silver was deregulated. Redemption for silver coins or bullion was abolished in 1968 to prevent people from "gaming" the exchange process by speculation.
