The term "greenback" originates from the United States during the Civil War when the government issued paper currency to finance its war efforts. These notes were called greenbacks due to their green-colored back and were initially not backed by gold or silver, leading to fluctuations in value. The name has since come to refer to U.S. paper currency in general.
