Title: THE HISTORY OF MONEY Abraham Lincoln's Greenback Dollar
Headings: 

Content: They will have the    full sanction of the government and be just as good as any money; as Congress is given that express right by the Constitution." Colonel Dick Taylor 1 Lincoln agreed to try this solution and printed 450 million    dollars worth of the new bills using green ink on the back to    distinguish them from other notes. " The government should    create, issue and circulate all the currency and credit needed to    satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power    of consumers..... The privilege of creating and issuing money is    not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the    Government's greatest creative opportunity. By the adoption of    these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be    satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest,    discounts and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprises,    the maintenance of stable government and ordered progress, and the    conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical    administration. The people can and will be furnished with a    currency as safe as their own government. Money will cease to be    the master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise    superior to the money power."
