Has the Federal Reserve System ever been audited?
Answer - in a word, YES. The Federal Reserve has frequent internal audits performed by its Office of the Inspector General. There is also a complete audit of the financial statements of the Federal Reserve every year by a private external auditing firm, currently Deloitte. However the Government Accountability Office - the auditing office of the federal government - is legally restricted from some types of audits.Well, not exactly.... The FED itself has NEVER been audited - period.When we see the disastrous results of an artificially created shortage of currency, we can better understand why our Founding Fathers insisted on placing the power to create and control money in the hands of Congress. Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The Congress shall have power... to coin money, regulate the value thereof... "But in 1913 Congress passed the "Federal Reserve Act," relinquishing the power to create and control money to the Federal Reserve Corporation, a private company owned and controlled by bankers. The word "Federal" was used only to deceive the people. The term "central bank" was carefully avoided. The Federal Reserve Act created a Board of Directors, the Federal Reserve Board, to run the Federal Reserve Corporation with a monopoly to create and control the currency of the United States.This infamous legislation was accompanied with appropriate fanfare and propaganda that it would "remove money from politics" and "prevent boom and bust from hurting our citizens." The people were not told then, and still do not know today, that the Federal Reserve Corporation is a private monopolycontrolled by bankers, operated for the financial gain of the bankers at the expense of the people.Since that day of infamy a small group of privileged people who lend us "our money," have accrued to themselves all of the profits of printing paper currency - and more! Since 1913 they have created trillions of dollars in currency and credit, which as their own personal property, they then lend to our government and our people, with interest. "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" had become the secret policy of our national government.The main architect of the Federal Reserve System was Paul Moritz Warburg, who came from a famous German banking family. The kingpin who steered the Federal Reserve Act through Congress was Senator Nelson Aldrich, Chairman of the Finance Committee. He was the maternal grandfather of Nelson A. Rockefeller, of Standard Oil and Chase Manhattan Bank. Aldrich's daughter, Abby Greene Aldrich, married John D. Rockefeller, Jr. in 1901. At the time, many people regarded Senator Aldrich as the Rockefeller family's mouthpiece in the Senate.The Federal Reserve Act was passed during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson. Just before he died Wilson is reported to have said that he had been deceived and "I have betrayed my country." He also said:"A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit has been concentrated. The growth of the nation and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world - no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men."There has been much speculation about who owns the Federal Reserve Corporation. It has been one of the best kept secrets of the century, because the Federal Reserve Act Act of 1913 provided that the names of the owner banks be kept secret. However, R. E. McMaster publisher of the newsletter The Reaper, asked his Swiss banking contacts which banks hold the controlling stock in the Federal Reserve Corporation. The answer:Rothschild Banks of London and BerlinLazard Brothers Bank of ParisIsrael Moses Sieff Banks of ItalyWarburg Bank of Hamburg and AmsterdamLehman Brothers Bank of New YorkKuhn Loeb Bank of New YorkChase Manhattan Bank of New YorkGoldman Sachs Bank of New York.In The Secrets Of The Federal Reserve, Eustace Mullins indicates that, because the Federal Reserve Bank of New York sets interest rates and controls the daily supply and price of currency throughout the U.S., the owners of that bank are the real directors of the entire system. Mullins states:"The shareholders of these banks which own the stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York are the people who have controlled our political and economic destinies since 1914. They are the Rothschilds, Lazard Freres (Eugene Mayer), Israel Sieff, Kuhn Loeb Company, Warburg Company, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, the Rockefeller family, and the J.P. Morgan interests."An example of the process of currency creation and its conversion into "people's debt" will aid our understanding. The Federal Government, having spent more than it has taken from its citizens in taxes, needs (for the sake of illustration) $1 billion. Since it does not have the currency, and Congress has given away its authority to create it, the government must go to the creators for the $1 billion. But the Federal Reserve, a private corporation, does not give its currency away for free! The bankers are willing to deliver $1 billion in currency or credit to the federal government in exchange for the government's agreement to pay it back with interest. So Congress authorizes the Treasury Department to print $1 billion in U.S. Bonds, which are then delivered to the Federal Reserve bankers. (The bonds are a kind of "IOU" that bears interest.)You say this is terrible! Yes it is, but this is only part of the sordid story. Under this "debt-currency" system, those U.S. Bonds referred to above have now become assets of the banks, called their "reserve." Regular commercial banks use these assets to issue loans to individual and commercial customers. Since the banking laws require only about a 12% reserve, this means the banking fraternity can lend up to eight times the amount of the bonds they have on hand. As a result of the $1 billion discussed here, they can lend $8 billion to private customers at interest. This means that together with the $1 billion lent to the government, the bankers can lend out $9 billion at interest for the original cost to them of about $400,000 for the printing! And because the Federal Reserve bankers have been granted a monopoly, the only way our people and businesses can get currency to carry on trade and expand industry and farming is to borrow it from the bankers!

What is value of national currency federal bank of Cleveland brown seal from 1929?
Cleveland was one of 12 Federal Reserve Districts which issued this type of emergency currency under FDR's direction in 1933. This emergency issue was prompted by the public hoarding of cash because many banks were failing in the late 20's and early 30's. During a national "Bank Holiday", engraving plates that used to produce National Bank Notes were altered to produce Federal Reserve Bank Notes (FRBN's). This was intended to assure the public that their money was safe and backed by the federal government. Cleveland-issued FRBN were produced in $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 denominations. By far the most common were $10 and $20's. Condition is everything when it comes to value. If the note is well circulated with a lot of folds, it could still be worth $30. If it is very crisp with few or no folds it could be worth $150 to $200. enj0ykc16

What Federal Reserve banks issue 5 dollar bills?
Five-dollar bills are printed for all Federal Reserve districts as demand requires. To explain, Federal Banks don't actually print bills. When a district determines that more of a particular denomination is needed to meet economic needs, they request a new supply from the Treasury. If there are already bills in stock a shipment is prepared. Otherwise, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing prints the requested bills at one of its printing plants in either Washington or Fort Worth. The only difference between bills for different districts is either the serial number code lettering or the Federal Reserve Seal, so one plant can readily produce bills for any district.
