Federal Reserve Banks distributes new currency for the Department of the Treasury, which produces it. Depository institutions buy currency from Federal Reserve Banks when they need it to meet customer demand, and they deposit cash at the Fed when they have more than they need to meet customer demand. Most medium-sized and large-sized banks maintain reserve accounts at one of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, and they pay for the cash they get from the Federal Reserve by having those accounts debited. Some smaller banks maintain their required reserves at larger, "correspondent," banks. The smaller banks get cash through the correspondent banks, which charge a fee for the service. The larger banks get currency from the Federal Reserve and pass it on to the smaller banks.
Fractional-reserve banking is what keeps the banks running. They must keep a certain amount of money in reserve (usually in the form of a deposit with the central bank), so that people can withdrawal their deposits.

There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1914 US 50 dollar bill?" Federal Reserve Notes were very different from silver certificates and were never combined. Silver certificates were issued directly by the Treasury and were backed dollar-for-dollar with silver on deposit.
