All Federal Reserve notes are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Explanations and myth-busting

Even though bills have different Federal Reserve District indicators on them, they're not actually printed in each district. All bills are printed at BEP plants in Washington and Fort Worth; when a district bank requests more bills the BEP prints whatever denominations are needed and marks them with the district letter (or name, for $1 and $2 bills).

The US Mint is NOT involved in printing bills. The Mint's only responsibilities are striking of coins and medals. It's a separate agency from the BEP.

Does the Federal Reserve print money?

Yes the federal Reserve, created in 1913, prints all US currency and coins. Every US dollar in circulation is printed as federal reserve notes which can be seen at the top of every US dollar. The US Treasury is obligated to print money at the demand of the Federal Reserve. When the government needs money, it gives US Treasury bonds to the Federal Reserve and in return, the federal reserve sells the government federal reserve notes with interest. How does the federal Reserve get these Federal Reserve notes? The US Treasury prints them out for the Federal Reserve electronically. These US Treasury bonds are than sold to very wealthy individuals and privant banks.According to the US code-section 411," Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose ofmaking advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose,are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other publicdues. They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank."

The Mint only issues coins.
