Actually, red ink was rarely used on US $1 bills. Most red-seal notes were $2, $5, and $100. That color identifies a bill as a "United States Note" rather than being a "Federal Reserve Note". Federal Reserve Notes are issued under the authority of the Federal Reserve Bank, while U. S. Notes were issued directly by the Treasury.
