|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: During World War I, the United States began selling war bonds called Liberty bonds or Liberty loans to support the allied cause. Subscribing to the bonds became a symbol of patriotic duty in the U. S. and introduced the idea of financial securities to many citizens for the first time. The Act of Congress which authorized the Liberty Bonds is still used today as the authority under which all U. S. Treasury bonds are issued.
The certificate pictured here was presented to subscribers of the Third Liberty Loan, which was enacted on April 5, 1918. It depicts George Washington's coat of arms, which was used to design the American flag, as well as his family motto, "Exitus acta probat," or "Judge acts by results."
