For bills dated 1928 and later, red seals and serial numbers indicate that a bill is a United States Notes. US Notes were very similar to the current Federal Reserve notes in that they weren't backed by gold or silver in the Treasury. US Notes were issued from 1862 up till the 1960s. Because there was no monetary difference between the 2 forms, US Notes were phased out and all subsequent bills were issued as Federal Reserve Notes to save on printing costs.

Why does money have red serial numbers?

Most do not (they have green serial numbers). Usually its to prevent counterfeiting by using an ink that previously counterfeiters didn't have. All sorts of ink was used in the "large sized" series of US notes, but in the small sized, a general rule of thumb is: Brown serial number - National Bank note Blue serial number - Silver Certificate Red serial number - United States Note Yellow serial number - Gold certificate Green serial number - Federal Reserve Note However, these guidelines may not always be the case, especially as it relates to older (pre-1928) currency
