<p>[QUOTE="fatima, post: 999091, member: 22143"]This simply isn't true. The Federal Reserve is not a government agency and this is proved by the fact that it's employees are not considered, do not receive benifits from, nor are paid by the federal government. Nobody in the Federal Reserve reports to any elected government official and they are exempt from any federal oversight. Money issued by the Federal Reserve is a debt obligation between the holder and the Federal Reserve and not between the holder and the US Government. In fact if you hold a US Bank Note, Silver or Gold certificate, and forgetting it's numismatic value, if you want to redeem it, these days you have to take it to a Federal Reserve bank where it will be exchanged for FRNs. If you still don't believe this, then I recommend a reading of this subject from the Federal Reserve's own website. <a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/faq/faqfrbanks.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/faq/faqfrbanks.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/faq/faqfrbanks.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here they are asked the question.
