At one time the currency, which was called a Green Back, actually was worth what it said it was worth. It was backed by Silver and Gold. Then their was the raid on gold in 19 . People were told to surrender all their gold. Then in 1929 the economy was collapsed and the dollar was introduced. It didn't have any thing to back it up. It was told to the people that it was worth its weight, but it wasn't.
