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.

The US printed so-called "fractional" currency during and after the Civil War in an effort to alleviate a shortage of coins caused by a number of factors related to wartime disruption. The smallest fractional note was worth three cents, and was issued from 1864 to 1869. Other fractional denominations were 5, 10, 15, 25, and 50 cents. Except for the strange 15¢ denomination they matched the most common coins then circulating. Fractional currency was printed until 1876, by which time the coin shortage had been alleviated. At that point fractional currency was redeemed for coins.
