Until recent years all U.S. currency was issued by one of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks which collectively constitute the central bank of the U.S. banking system. "F" is Atlanta, Georgia, "L" is San Francisco, and the others are in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, and some other places I can't remember off the top of my head.</p><p><br /></p><p>The black seal on the redesigned notes presently being issued in higher denominations surround a shield surmounted by an eagle with "UNITED STATES FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM".</p><p><br /></p><p>Whether a note is printed in Washington or Ft.
