Congress created the dollar with the Coinage Act of 1792, the law that also established the US Mint. Today's bills are Federal Reserve Notes, issued through the central bank created in 1913. Federal paper money itself dates to 1861, first printed to help fund the Civil War.

Uganda first issued its own shilling in 1966 through the Bank of Uganda, replacing the East African shilling at par. Runaway inflation later forced a reset: in 1987 a new shilling replaced the old at 100 to 1, and that is the currency used today.
