The oldest official United States one-dollar bill was called a "Legal Tender Note", and was issued in 1863.

There were also bills called "Continental dollars", issued by the Continental Congress in the period immediately prior to the Revolution. Continental dollars depreciated rapidly due to wartime pressures including extensive counterfeiting, and they ceased circulating by the 1780s.
