Money is called "greenbacks" because of the green ink used on the back of U.S. paper currency, particularly the notes issued during and after the Civil War. The term originated from the $1, $2, and $5 notes issued by the U.S. government in 1861, which were printed on demand to finance the war. The distinctive green color became associated with U.S. currency, leading to the nickname "greenbacks" for all paper money.
