Frequently Asked Questions
Name, History & Etymology
History
The U.S. dollar was established by the Coinage Act of 1792. Early U.S. currency included both coins and paper notes issued by various banks. The federal government began issuing its own paper currency, 'greenbacks,' during the Civil War (1861-1865). The one-dollar bill has undergone several design changes over the centuries, with the current design featuring George Washington on the obverse and the Great Seal of the United States on the reverse largely established in 1963.
First Recorded Use
The term 'dollar' itself dates back to the 16th century (from 'thaler'), but 'dollar bill' as a common phrase for paper currency became prevalent after the establishment of the U.S. monetary system.
Cultural Associations
The dollar bill, particularly the one-dollar bill, is an iconic symbol of the United States and its economy. It is widely recognized globally. Its design elements, such as the Eye of Providence and the pyramid on the Great Seal, have been subjects of various interpretations and conspiracy theories. It is often used colloquially to represent money in general ('a few dollar bills'). The phrase 'in God we trust' has been printed on all U.S. currency since 1957.
