Few wartime posters put the nation's money to work so literally: this one tells viewers that every gold piece carried to the bank moves the country one hour nearer final victory. Printed in 1914 as a color lithograph, it belongs to the first winter of the war, when France needed coins and bullion to back its currency and pay for the fighting. Public appeals like this urged ordinary households to hand over their gold in exchange for paper money, so the metal could be held as reserves. The poster's cheerful, almost arithmetical promise shows how the government tried to make a financial sacrifice feel like a direct contribution to the war effort.
