Red-seal US notes were issued in 1963; like all US Notes they were issued directly by the federal government and not through the central bank.

You may be thinking of a widespread conspiracy theory that President Kennedy was attempting to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its ability to loan money to the government by authorizing continued production of silver certificates. In fact, in his 1963 economic report Kennedy agreed with other economists of the time that the US could no longer remain on the silver standard (emphasis added):

"I again urge a revision in our silver policy to reflect the status of silver as a metal for which there is an expanding industrial demand. Except for its use in coins, silver serves no useful monetary function.

In 1961, at my direction, sales of silver were suspended by the Secretary of the Treasury. As further steps, I recommend repeal of those Acts that oblige the Treasury to support the price of silver; and ... authorization for the Federal Reserve System to issue notes in denominations of $1, so as to make possible the gradual withdrawal of silver certificates from circulation and the use of the silver thus released for coinage purposes."

The executive order (#11110) cited by conspiracy theorists as evidence that Kennedy wanted to continue to issue silver-based currency was actually a fairly mundane ruling that allowed the government to continue printing $1 silver certificates on a temporary basis until $1 Federal Reserve notes could be issued. Despite claims by certain authors, EO 11110 does not mention United States Notes, and does not mandate the issuance of a specific quantity of any type of paper money.
