The Currency Reform Act of 184 was instituted by the Confederate government to address the rampant inflation which was having a devastating effect on the Southern wartime economy. Conversion of large denomination bills to 4 percent treasury bonds and reduction of redemption ratio for smaller bills resulted in temporary contraction and stabilization in the Confederate economy. Later wartime obligations forced further currency printing which then negated most of the positive effects of the Currency Reform Act.
