$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.
