dollar bill

George Washington's portrait

A dollar bill is a piece of U.S. paper currency worth one dollar.

The term distinguishes paper money from coins: I need a dollar bill for the vending machine.

Dollar bill appears in expressions about ordinariness or ubiquity—someone may look like a million bucks but still put on pants one leg at a time like everyone else with a dollar bill in their pocket.
