During World War I, the United States used the U.S. dollar as its official currency. The dollar was backed by gold and silver, adhering to the gold standard at the time. The U.S. government issued various war bonds to finance military efforts, but the dollar remained the primary medium of exchange throughout the war.
The first dollar bill was circulated in 1862 during the American Civil War, when the U.S. government issued paper currency to help finance the war effort. These early dollar bills were called "greenbacks" and were initially used as legal tender. The use of paper currency marked a significant shift from the reliance on coins and notes issued by private banks.
a. The government and trade industries were selling weapons to all belligerents during the war. The president was telling the people to not choose sides and to stay neutral during the war. Also the use of propaganda!
They did not have currency, they bartered.
During World War II, American factories underwent a massive transformation to support the war effort. Industrial production ramped up significantly, as factories shifted from consumer goods to military supplies, including aircraft, tanks, and ammunition. The War Production Board coordinated these efforts, leading to innovations in manufacturing processes and the use of assembly line techniques. This surge in production not only helped the Allies win the war but also significantly altered the American workforce, with many women and minorities entering the labor force to fill the gaps left by men who went to fight.

During World War II, Australia used the Australian pound as its currency. The Australian pound was subdivided into 20 shillings, with each shilling further divided into 12 pence. In 1966, the Australian pound was replaced by the Australian dollar, but during the war, the pound was the standard unit of currency for transactions and military pay.
