Wartime Führers do not have to pay bills.
The FSoA did a similar thing during the War of Northern Aggression. The North used "Greenbacks" for internal trade in the Northern States and the South used Confederate Dollars. Both sides used credit and promises to pay after the war for trade with Europe to get arms and munitions. European Banks financed both sides for this, although the industrial north was more connected up and had better financing. After the war, Confederate Dollars went worthless and Greenbacks converted to Dollars. However, the Second Bank of the FSoA failed, and there was a "Free Banking" period with multiple Busts before the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 created the Dollars we use today.
