Before 1928, the colour of the Treasury Seal varied from issue to issue.After that date, the colour of the seal meant something special;Green : Federal Reserve Notes. These bills are issued by the US central bank and are the only bills currently in circulationBlue : Silver Certificates. Silver certificates were issued by the Treasury and backed dollar-for-dollar with silver on deposit.Orange : Gold Certificates. Like silver certificates they were issued by the Treasury and backed with an equivalent amount of gold.Red : United States Notes US Notes were issued directly by the federal government but functioned equivalently to Federal Reserve Notes.Brown : National Bank Notes & Federal Reserve Bank Notes
No. Only bank notes up to $100 in value are in circulation.
Red seals indicate a special series of currency called United States Notes. These were issued directly by the federal government rather than by the central bank (the Federal Reserve). US Notes were functionally identical to Federal Reserve Notes and were discontinued in the late 1960s to save printing costs. All modern currency is issued as Federal Reserve Notes.
The red seal designates these bills as United States Notes. US Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government, alongside silver and gold certificates, and eventually Federal Reserve Notes issued by the central bank. US Notes and Federal Reserve Notes are "unbacked" notes; that is, they're accepted for payment because the vast majority of citizens are willing to accept them as representing a specific amount of money due to the stability, faith, and credit of the US Treasury. This contrasts with gold and silver certificates that were issued only in amounts that represented specific quantities of those metals on deposit with the government. The US went off the gold standard during the Great Depression and gold certificates were discontinued. The same thing happened with silver in the 1960s so silver certificates were also discontinued. At that point US Notes and FRN's were the only forms of currency issued and were effectively the same. The government then decided to combine all currency production and distribution under the central bank to eliminate duplication of effort. Because many more FRNs were in circulation than US Notes, the latter were discontinued in 1966.

The US went off the gold standard during the Great Depression. The price of gold was allowed to rise and was eventually deregulated, so gold certificates were discontinued. The same thing happened with silver in the 1960s so silver certificates were also discontinued.

The red seal indicates that your bill is a United States Note, a form of paper money issued from 1862 to 1966. US Notes were issued directly by the Federal Government instead of through the Federal Reserve System (the central bank). They were completely interchangeable with Federal Reserve Notes, so production was consolidated to save printing costs. All US paper currency is now issued by the Federal Reserve.
