Although there are colonial and post-colonial coins minted earlier, The first actual U.S. coins to have an eagle were not minted until 1795 (although like some of the half dimes, some are dated 1794).

MoreHalf dollars and dollars dated 1794 both carry an image of a (rather scrawny) eagle on their reverse sides.
