- It wasn't made in Hawaii; it was printed in Washington for use in the Territory of Hawaii during WWII.
There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1934 A US 20 dollar bill with HAWAII on it?".
Is a silver certificate still legal tender?
Technically ALL American bills ever issued except for gold certificates remain legal tender. The government has never withdrawn any of the designs.
However most later-date $1 silver certificates are in fact so common among collectors that they aren't worth much more than face value anyway.
Other older bills may or may not be worth more than their face value; you have to know their dates, series letter (if any), and seal color for starters.
What is the value of a 1935 US silver certificate?
You didn't include the bill's denomination but the only silver certificates with that date were $1 bills. However, they were actually printed as late as 1964 (!) so you need to check what letter, if any, is next to the date.
Then please see the question "What is the value of a 1935 [letter] US 1 dollar silver certificate" for more-specific information.

What car is on the back of an older US 10 dollar bill?
Bills first issued in 1928 had a generic car on the back. According to the Treasury Department, the car isn't a particular model but is merely an artist's interpretation. A lot of people believed it was a model T-Ford or a 1926 Hupmobile but it was actually a composite of multiple cars of that era. Using a particular brand would have been seen as advertising.
Newer $10 bills only show the Treasury Building in a more close-up image. See the BEP website linked below.
How can you tell when a dollar bill was printed?
As you must know based on your question, bills' dates are "series" dates and don't correspond to the year they were printed, only the design and/or Treasurer and Secretary whose signatures appear on the bill.
It's sometimes possible to determine the actual printing date based on the bill's serial number. The link below lists various denominations and what serial numbers they have.
That's DOLLAR, just like it's spelled on the bill.
1957 is a very common year for silver certificates. Unless it's uncirculated it would only retail for $1.25 to $1.50. A dealer will pay face value or maybe a nickel more.
What is the value of a 1955 US 1 dollar bill?
The US didn't print any bills dated 1955. Please check your bill and post a new, separate question.

MoreThe highest-denomination US bill ever printed for general use was $10,000. Only small numbers were issued. The denomination was discontinued in 1945 due to lack of use - that amount was a good year's salary at the time.The highest-value bill ever printed was the Series 1934 $100,000 gold certificate. It was only used for transactions between government departments in the days before electronic funds transfers.
The highest US denomination currently printed is $100. Very few countries print extremely-high value bills today because of concerns about their use by criminals and terrorists. One of the highest-value general circulation bills anywhere is the EU's €500 note, worth about US $650 in early 2012.

A dollar bill weighs one gram as does any denomination of American paper money
What is on the back of the 500 dollar bill?
The center of the back of the 500 dollar bill has the number 500 in a circle. Over it is written The United States of America, and under it is written Five Hundred Dollars, both in all capital letters.
When was the US 500 dollar bill recalled by the Federal Reserve?
Large-denomination Federal Reserve notes have never been formally recalled, demonetized, or otherwise declared worthless.
The last high-denomination bills were printed in the 1934 series. In July 1969 the Federal Government suspended the distribution of high-value bills through the banking system as a way to help combat organized crime. At that time the Treasury established a policy of "soft withdrawal." That is, bills above $100 are still considered to be legal tender and people are allowed to own them or spend them; however, any any that are turned in at a bank must be sent back to the Treasury. Over the last 40+ years that policy has effectively removed all $500 and larger bills from circulation.
What year was the first dollar bill minted?
$1 bills have never been minted. Coins are minted, bills are printed. Anyway, the answer isn't as simple as it seems.
The first federally issued $1 bills appeared in 1862, during the Civil War, when the government started to standardize currency.
Before that there were hundreds if not thousands of different bills printed by various banks, local governments, and other non-federal jurisdictions. At the time of the Revolution the Continental Congress issued paper money called "Continentals" in many denominations, including $1, so with a bit of stretching it's possible to claim these as the first American $1 bills.
