Best Answer

In 1928 the Treasury adopted standard colors for bills. Red ink was used for United States Notes, blue for silver certificates, and green for Federal Reserve Notes. The most common denominations of US Notes were $2 and $5, although others were printed as well.

US Notes were issued directly by the federal government rather than through the Federal Reserve System. The two kinds of currency served the same purpose so production of US Notes was suspended in 1971 to save on printing and distribution costs.
