The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States of America and it supervises/oversees the banking operations of all banks in USA. They are responsible for the proper functioning of all the banks and they are also the lender to the banks (The place where banks go to borrow money if they are short of funds)
Yes the federal Reserve, created in 1913, prints all US currency and coins. Every US dollar in circulation is printed as federal reserve notes which can be seen at the top of every US dollar. The US Treasury is obligated to print money at the demand of the Federal Reserve. When the government needs money, it gives US Treasury bonds to the Federal Reserve and in return, the federal reserve sells the government federal reserve notes with interest. How does the federal Reserve get these Federal Reserve notes? The US Treasury prints them out for the Federal Reserve electronically. These US Treasury bonds are than sold to very wealthy individuals and privant banks.According to the US code-section 411," Federal reserve notes, to be issued at the discretion of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System for the purpose ofmaking advances to Federal reserve banks through the Federal reserve agents as hereinafter set forth and for no other purpose,are authorized. The said notes shall be obligations of the United States and shall be receivable by all national and member banks and Federal reserve banks and for all taxes, customs, and other publicdues. They shall be redeemed in lawful money on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, or at any Federal Reserve bank."
