one dollar bills since 1935, when the dept of the treasury proposed to use the obverse and reverse of the seal on the backs of $1 bills. FDR decided to switch the order of the seals before he passed the bill.

The face (obverse) of the Great Seal first appeared on the back of the $20 Gold Certificate, Series 1905. In 1935, both the face and back (reverse) of the seal appeared for the first time on paper money on $1 Silver Certificates.

Not to be picky, but did you mean the "obverse AND reverse" of the Great Seal. If you just meant one side, you would be incorrect on your answer, since, as noted above with other answers, there are other notes with one side of the Great Seal. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
