Меня удивляет следующие моменты в статье (если в ней все изложено верно):
1. ФРС не заказывает ПЕЧАТЬ купюр, оплачивая данную УСЛУГУ. ФРС берет ВЗАЙМЫ купюры у казначейства, при этом оставляет ЗАЛОГ. И получит залог обратно тогда, когда вернет обратно купюры. То есть фактически: Казначейство-эмитент, ФРС-распространитель. А что написано на бумажках - дело уже другое.
2. Казначейство может выпускать монеты вообще БЕЗ участия ФРС. Даже если МОНЕТЫ будут в миллион долларов?
П.С. Интересно, а для выпуска денег в виде единиц и ноликов в компьютере тоже требуется какое-либо (согласующее или чисто техническое) участие Казначейства?
П.П.С. Что-то это полностью противоречит информации о всемогущем ФРС и бессильном Казначействе. Может в статье что-то переврано? Может кто-то пояснить?

What are Federal Reserve notes and how are they different from United States notes?

Answer Federal Reserve notes are legal tender currency notes. The twelve Federal Reserve Banks issue them into circulation pursuant to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. A commercial bank belonging to the Federal Reserve System can obtain Federal Reserve notes from the Federal Reserve Bank in its district whenever it wishes. It must pay for them in full, dollar for dollar, by drawing down its account with its district Federal Reserve Bank.

Federal Reserve Banks obtain the notes from our Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). It pays the BEP for the cost of producing the notes, which then become liabilities of the Federal Reserve Banks, and obligations of the United States Government.

Congress has specified that a Federal Reserve Bank must hold collateral equal in value to the Federal Reserve notes that the Bank receives. This collateral is chiefly gold certificates and United States securities. This provides backing for the note issue. The idea was that if the Congress dissolved the Federal Reserve System, the United States would take over the notes (liabilities). This would meet the requirements of Section 411, but the government would also take over the assets, which would be of equal value. Federal Reserve notes represent a first lien on all the assets of the Federal Reserve Banks, and on the collateral specifically held against them.

Federal Reserve notes are not redeemable in gold, silver or any other commodity, and receive no backing by anything This has been the case since 1933. The notes have no value for themselves, but for what they will buy. In another sense, because they are legal tender, Federal Reserve notes are "backed" by all the goods and services in the economy.

The United States Government began printing money in 1862, when "greenback" currency was issued to finance the Civil War. Five clerks working in the attic of the Main Treasury Building affixed the Treasury Seal to the bills. The functions of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) were formally established on March 3, 1877. It is now administered by the Treasurer of the United States. The BEP's functions include:

   * Designing and manufacturing United States currency;
   * Designing and manufacturing many postage stamps, customs stamps and revenue stamps;
   * Designing, engraving and printing Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and other U.S. securities;
   * Designing, engraving and printing commissions, permits, and certificates of awards.
