The United States 1 dollar bill ($1) is made from cotton and linen blend, with minute red and blue silk fibers running through it to deter counterfeiters. The first U.S. President, George Washington portrait, painted by Gilbert Stuart, is currently featured on the obverse, while the Great Seal of the United States is featured on the reverse.
The $1 dollar bill nickname, "greenback" derives from the Demand Note Dollars created by Abraham Lincoln in the mid 1880s to finance the Civil War. These notes were printed in black on one side and green on the other.
