The US has printed many more denominations of paper money than the current seven (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollars).

  • Before 1945 the government also issued $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000 bills for general circulation, and printed special $100,000 bills for use inside the Federal Reserve System.
  • During and after the Civil War, the US printed so-called "fractional currency"; i.e. bills valued at less than $1. Denominations included 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, and 50 cents.
  • Before the dollar was officially adopted, dozens of different denominations were issued by the colonies, the states, the Continental Congress, and many other authorities. Some of the denominations included 4 and 12 pence; 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 12, 18, 20, 30, 40 and 50 shillings; 1, 2, 3, and 4 pounds; 1/6, 1/3, 2/3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 30, 35, 40, and 60 dollars.

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.
