Federal Reserve employed several new measures and tools in last 2 years. Some important measures and tools are:

This amendment protects credit card users from unexpected increase in credit card interest rates, prohibits creditors from credit card to underage (below 21 years), requires creditors to obtain consumers consent for charging fees on transactions exceeding credit limit, prohibits two cycle billing etc.

2) Term Auction Facility: During sub-prime crisis, Fed developed this tool to increase liquidity without printing money. This tool provides financial institution access to fed dollar on anonymous basis.

What is the value of a Circled G 50 Federal Reserve Note with Grant's picture on it?

More information is needed. Please check your bill again and post a new, separate question with its date and what small letter, if any, is next to the date. $50 Federal Reserve Notes with the district letter in a circle were issued for decades so without a date it's not possible to estimate a value.

Why do changes in money supply not affect GNP?

According to the Federal Reserve the money supply consists of safe liquid assets such as U.S. currency, checking, and savings accounts that businesses and households can use to pay bills or purchase items. The money supply can be measured in different ways depending on which monetary aggregates are included in the calculation. A large increase in the money supply has been linked to an increase in the price level and growth in nominal gross domestic product which is not price adjusted for inflation. Changes in the money supply have not had a close correlation to changes in gross domestic product over the past several decades which is why the Federal Reserve has diminished the importance of changes in the money supply as it relates to conducting monetary policy.
