$1 It was was a silver certificate as Federal Reserve Notes didn't exist in the $1 denomination at the time.

The $1 bills did not denote the Federal Reserve Bank.

The $1 note is the only one that did not have the denomination (ONE) printed over the seal in the right, obverse field.

The Dollar is a silver certificate while the other denominations are federal reserve notes.

I will guess the $1 note is different since it is a silver certificate and the $5, $10 and $20 were all Federal Reserve Notes.

[mattcorbett2010]

The $1 is the only one that is a silver certificate, the other 3 are fed reserve notes

[SamD]

The $1 Hawaii Overprint note is a SILVER CERTIFICATE. It differs from the $5, $10, and $20 Hawaii Overprint notes which are FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES.

[bsshog40]

The $1 Bill didn't have the Federal Reserve District Seal on the front.
