The Organized Secret Service was started in 1985, and was initially an organization responsible for the protection of American currency against counterfitting attempts. In 1883, the Secret Service was finally officially acknowledged by the U.S Treasury Department. From 1883, the Secret Service would go on to expand into other areas of government, including being the personal bodyguards for the President of the United States.

What war was the secret service created to fight counterfeiting?

The U.S. Secret Service was created to battle counterfeiting five days after Robert E. Lee's surrender marked the end of the U.S. Civil War. One third of all currency in circulation at that time is believed to have been counterfeit. (Considering that the role for which the Secret Service is most famous today is that of protecting the President, it is ironic that Abraham Lincoln created the Secret Service on the day he was shot.)
