Red ink indicates the bill is a United States Note, a form of paper money issued directly by the government instead of by the Federal Reserve System. During the 20th century US Notes only made up a small fraction of bills in circulation. They had similar designs to and were completely equivalent to green-seal Federal Reserve Notes, so production was discontinued in the late 1960s to save on printing and distribution costs.
A bail out can be considered as a financial help that was given/provided to almost all banks in the United States during the financial crisis a few years ago. Because of the economic crisis, more than 100 banks declared bankruptcy. To avoid further banks from failing, the government of the United States created a bailout plan through which the Federal Reserve granted financial help accounting to hundreds of billions of dollars to banks across the country. The banks used this money to stabilize their positions and are slowly repaying the Federal Reserve the money they got from them
The brown seal and wording in the banner across the bill's top front identify it as a National Currency note. Hundreds of private banks issued National Currency notes under federal charter; prices range from barely above face value to many thousands of dollars making it almost impossible to evaluate a bill online. While this site attempts to provide a specific answer to every question posted, the wide variety of these bills means it's better to have them inspected in person by a dealer or appraiser. Some National Currency notes were issued by Federal Reserve banks, however. If your bill has the words "Federal Reserve Bank" to the left of the portrait, please see the question "What is the value of a 1929 US 20 dollar Federal Reserve Note?" During the Great Depression the government eliminated privately-issued currency as part of its efforts to stabilize the economy. National Currency notes were discontinued following the 1929 series, although bills continued to be printed with that date for a few more years.
There are certificate notes and red seal notes but they're not the same, at least among bills issued during the 20th century. Red ink indicates that a bill is a United States Note. Certificates were at issued for redemption in silver (blue seal, up to the 1957 series) and gold (gold seal, up to 1928) US Notes were simply a different form of currency that was almost identical to modern Federal Reserve Notes. The only major difference was that they were issued directly by the federal government versus the Federal Reserve System. US Notes generally made up only a small fraction of all bills printed each year, so they were phased out between 1966 and 1971 in order to eliminate the costs of maintaining two separate production lines.
The Federal Reserve provides deposit insurance and acts as a lender to commercial banks.
It is not federal in the sense of being owned by the government. It's just a name, like Federal Express. The U.S. Federal Reserve banking system was created in 1913 by a group of bankers. The Federal Reserve Act was the brainchild of banker Paul Warburg, a partner in the investment firm Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and a representative of the Rothschild banking house. Congressman Carter Glass of Virginia co-authored the Federal Reserve Act [aka Owen-Glass Federal Reserve Act of 1913]. It was based on a report from a subcommittee of the House Banking and Currency Committee headed by Glass. But Warburg was the key player in the creation of the Act. Emmanuel Goldenweiser managed the Federal Reserve Board during its first 30 years.
Alan Greenspan served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. Ben Bernanke served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014.
