Federal Reserve Notes can be spent or exchanged at a bank for their face value regardless of how old they are. None have ever been withdrawn or demonetized.

However, older FRN's are often of interest to collectors and could be sold for more than their face value but a dealer or appraiser has to determine that premium.

Does the Federal Reserve print money?

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."

Does the federal reserve bank have any bearing on the value of a 10 dollar bill?

Absolutely. The Federal Reserve controls the amount of federal reserve notes in circulation. The more notes in circulation the less each of them is worth, the less notes in circulation the more each note is worth. For example, today $10 can buy you a meal at a sit-down restaurant. If the Federal Reserve made more dollar bills, that $10 might only buy a sandwich at a fast food chain that today costs $1. If the Federal Reserve actively took out notes and didn't replace them, that $10 might buy 2 meals at a sit-down restaurant.
