Best Answer

In 1928 the Treasury adopted standard colors to distinguish the four types of bills that were then in circulation. A red seal and serial numbers identify a bill as a United States Note, a banknote issued directly by the Federal government instead of through a bank.

US Notes were printed for for about a century and in several denominations, but were eliminated in the 1960s in favor of issuing all currency as Federal Reserve Notes.
