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.

What is the relationship between the discount rate and the federal funds rate in the context of monetary policy?

The discount rate is the interest rate at which banks borrow money directly from the Federal Reserve, while the federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend money to each other overnight. The Federal Reserve uses these rates to influence the overall economy. Typically, the discount rate is higher than the federal funds rate, and changes in one rate can impact the other. When the Federal Reserve wants to encourage borrowing and spending, it may lower the discount rate and federal funds rate to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money. Conversely, when the Federal Reserve wants to slow down the economy and control inflation, it may raise these rates to make borrowing more expensive.
