When was the phrase Backed by Gold removed from Federal Reserve notes?
The phrase is actually "Redeemable in Gold" rather than "Backed by Gold". Federal Reserve notes were and remain so-called fiat money, i.e. paper currency that represents an obligation of the central banking system that is not dependent on precious metal. The phrase was removed from Federal Reserve notes starting with the 1934 series, issued the year after Franklin Roosevelt took the US off the gold standard. It had appeared on previous Federal Reserve notes beginning with the first series in 1914. Strictly interpreted, the full phrase limited gold redemption only to those bills presented at the Treasury itself or any of the twelve Federal Reserve banks, places that the average person would rarely visit. The clause "... or lawful money" was never clarified but was interpreted to mean any coin or bill issued by the government, including other Federal Reserve notes.

Federal Reserve Notes are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at facilities in Washington and Fort Worth.

What are the denominations of Federal Reserve Notes?
The US currently issues 7 denominations of Federal Reserve Notes: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. At one time there were also Federal Reserve Notes with denominations of $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000. $500 bills saw moderate use by businesses in the days before electronic funds transfers and widespread use of checks while the rest were very infrequently used. Production was discontinued in 1945, although the final printings carried a 1934 series date. Banks were still allowed to distribute the bills on request, but they became popular as a way for criminals to easily hide large amounts of money without detection. That led the government to halt all distribution of high-value bills as of mid-1969.
