To discourage counterfeiting, the kind of ink that is used on a dollar bill is not information that's available to the general public.
The Treasury has used green ink since the nineteenth century. It was originally developed because the color was difficult to reproduce using the primitive copying techniques (mostly photolithography) available at the time. The color eventually became almost traditional (see the term "greenback" for the US dollar) despite advances in copying technology that made it easy for counterfeiters to reproduce.
By the late 1970s it became clear that more than just green ink was needed to prevent widespread copying of US bills. Even so, the Treasury, Congress and the general public resisted any redesign efforts. Some opposition was based on the above-mentioned tradition and concerns that changing designs might be interpreted as a signal of monetary instability, while others were far more wild-eyed; e.g. new designs would confuse senior citizens, redesign was a "European" idea, and of course the ever-popular insinuations of a communist plot.
It took until the first years of the new century for a full redesign to be authorized. The current series of blue and peach colored $20 bills was released in late 2003 (with a 2004 date, interestingly), followed by $50, $10, $5, and $100 in that order.

Older dollar bills are indeed still in circulation. US bills aren't removed from circulation until they wear out.
No real US million dollar bills
Security strips were first used in 1990. They were added to all denominations except $1 and $2 bills.
No US $1 bills are dated 1990.
The colors used are red, blue and yellow ================ According to the US Treasury, only green and black are used on current $1 bills.
A 1963 2 dollar bill with yellow ink is considered very rare since it was an ink error. It escaped the quality control of the US mint and should not have been released. 1963 2 dollar bills were printed with red ink. It would be worth a premium price to a collector the better the condition, the higher the value.????There are no known reports of ink errors on 1963 US $2 bills. And more importantly, the US Mint DOES NOT MAKE PAPER MONEY, it only strikes coins! ALL US paper money is produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The last time yellow ink was used on US bills was during WWII to create special bills for use in war zones. More likely, the bill has simply been exposed to something (bleach, laundry detergent, etc.) that leached some of the color out of the seals.
No such bill exists. The last red-seal $5 bills were dated 1963, and no US bills of any denomination carry a 1967 date.
No, just special paper and ink.
Black gray yellow
No. Despite many Internet conspiracy rumors claiming otherwise, US bills do not have magnetic ink, bar codes, or RFID chips. Modern bills $5 and higher DO have special strips that glow under UV light and watermarks, and bills $10 and higher have special inks that change color when you tilt the bill.
Please check again and post a new question. It's either not 1959, not $10, or not blue ink. The US didn't print any bills dated 1959, the last blue-ink silver certificates were $1 bills dated 1957 and the last $10 silver certificates were dated 1953.
The link below has pictures and facts about the designs used on US $50 bills since 1928.
The US didn't print any bills dated 1959. Please check again and post a new, separate question.
There were no $1 bills printed with that date. Please check again and post a new question.
The front is printed in black and grey, it looks somewhat green from arms length, but there is no green except for the Treasury seals. The back is printed using the same green color ink that was used on other denominations since the 19th century, hence the term "greenback".
Three dollar bills exist but they were never issued by the US government, although the US issued a three dollar coin from 1854 to 1889. Earlier, some colonies printed three dollar bills. When banks were allowed to print money in the early days of the US, some printed legitimate, legal three dollar bills. The Confederacy also produced three dollar bills.
