Best Answer

The first federally-issued $5 bills were printed in 1861 as "demand notes" to help finance the Civil War.

The first $5 bills printed as regular-series currency appeared a year later. They were issued as United States Notes, a form of currency that was issued up till the end of the 1960s.
