This conference resulted in the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

In other words, the United States, the IMF, and the World Bank began exporting Germany's type of monetary system, wheelbarrow money, to the world.
To operate as a true world central bank, the IMF needed to be able to issue unlimited amounts of funny money.
