On The Other Hand See Green ¬backs":The printing of paper money appeared to be the only practical choice, so in February 1862, Congress authorized an issue of $150 million of U. S. notes. These notes were also known as "legal tenders" and were popularly called "green ¬backs"¬backs" because they were printed in green ¬backs" ink, in contrast to the backs of gold certificates, which were printed in yellow.
The green ¬backs"backs were the first paper money is¬sued by the U. S. government. They were fiat money, since their only backing was the govern¬ment's promise to pay. But they were legal tender for all debts, public and private, except interest on the public debt and customs duties.
