There are twelve Federal Reserve district Banks in the Federal Reserve system, as you call it, the FED. These are identified by letter number code and run from Boston (A) to San Francisco. These banks are where the banks go to bank-and are not generally open to the public. In effect financial powerhouses- as opposed to something akin to savings and loans, or commercial banks. It should be noted there are some obscure statutes that require a certain margin of US currency to be in United States Notes- which are not, technically part of the Federal Reserve system. these have Red seals and serial numbers and are marked United States Note. Most common in $2 and $5 denomination, the red seal really stands out. These are perfectly legal tender- but it is understood they are limited to domestic transfers withing the Continental United States- hence the term Red-seal continental-.
