The general nickname is "greenbacks" because green ink is used for most of the image on each denomination's reverse side.
In common speech, most individual denominations are simply referred to by their value - a one, a five, a ten, etc. Nicknames for specific denominations aren't commonly used, with one exception - the $100 bill is often called a "Benjamin" because it carries a picture of statesman, inventor, and Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
These other nicknames exist but most are very old-fashioned and are rarely used:
$2: deuce
$5: fin
$10: sawbuck (from a very old design with the Roman numeral X, resembling a crossbuck)
$100: C-note (again, from a Roman numeral)
