In 1951. Having indexed all '51 dailies, I can give you the following list:

YD 51-02-13 - US arrives in train - - -
YD 51-02-14 - US doesn't want to take a taxi, and has his nephews holding
his bags - - -
YD 51-02-15 - HDL and DD discover that US's bags are full of money - - -
YD 51-02-17 - HDL ask US to take them to the cinema; HDL invite US to
western movie - - -
YD 51-02-19 - US goes to the ciname alone; paying for one ticket to western
movie - - -
YD 51-02-20 - - - -
YD 51-02-21 - US sleeps with money bills - - -
YD 51-02-22 - Room full of money safes - - -
YD 51-02-23 - US tries to buy ice cream for HDL; ice cream salesman couldn't
accept 100
dollar note - - -
YD 57-06-17 - Kittens for Daisy - WDC 233 - -

(Note: there may be more between 1952 and 1957)

I don't find Scrooge is at his best in these strips, not as good as Daisy or
the kids.
