The very first bill worth $10 was issued in 1861, as a demand note (money issued during the Civil War in 5, 10, and 20 dollar quantities). The first United States Note was issued in the following year. The first Federal Reserve note (the kind of money we use today) was issued in 1914, with a portrait of Andrew Jackson on the front. Alexander Hamilton's portrait replaced Jackson's in 1929, when US paper money was shrunk to the size it still currently is (before, bills had been about an inch longer and wider).

Also please note that bills are printed. The term "minting" applies only to coins.
