1862
CorrectionThe 1862 date noted above refers to the first time that the Federal Government issued its own currency.The use of paper money in the US actually dates back to the days of the Revolutionary War, when the new government issued paper notes called Continental Currency to help pay for the war. The bills had almost no backing and quickly became worthless, leading to the expression "Not worth a Continental".
Following independence a variety of paper money was issued, mostly by private banks under governmental authority. Following 1862 private bills continued to be produced and circulated alongside federally-issued money until the early 20th century. There was a dizzying variety of notes with different designs, values, and type designations - United States Notes, Silver Certificates, Gold Certificates, National Currency, and so on were all available.
When the Federal Reserve System was established in 1913 as the country's central bank, it gradually took over production and distribution of all paper money in order to put the nation's currency on a consistent foundation rather than relying on the vagaries of individual private banks. Those many different types of paper money being printed were gradually consolidated into a the familiar Federal Reserve Notes we now use.
