The Greenback Controversy and Panic of 1873 (HOM 27-A)
History of Money, Lecture 27, Pt. A: Americans after the Civil War were left with the question of what to do with the fiat Greenback currency. After a financial panic in 1873, Congress in 1875 passed the Resumption Act, which arranged for the retiring in Greenbacks (and for their redemption in gold) in 1879.
