Specie Payment Resumption Act

Also found in: Wikipedia

0.01 sec.

Legislation in the United States, passed in 1875, that made greenbacks (fiat currency issued during the U.S. Civil War) exchangeable for silver. This increased the value of the U.S. dollar and reduced inflation. However, agricultural and other interest groups found the higher inflation desirable as it made their debts more affordable. As a result, the act was controversial both before and after its passage.
