Answer 2

From http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adaccess/warbonds.html:

On May 1, 1941, the first Series E U.S. Savings Bond was sold to President Franklin D. Roosevelt by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau. On January 3, 1946, the last proceeds from the Victory Bond campaign were deposited to the Treasury. The War Finance Committees, in charge of the loan drives, sold a total of $185.7 billion of securities. This incredible mass selling achievement (for helping to finance the war) has not been matched, before or since. By the end of World War II, over 85 million Americans had invested in War Bonds, a number unmatched by any other country. Is the $185.7 billion in 1940's value or current 2000's value?

Answer 3

This money was used to help out with the fighting of the war and many people felt it was their duty to purchase these bonds. They sold over $17 billion in them in the two years of the war.
