<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1105743, member: 22143&quot;]You are confused at what is going on.&nbsp; It&#039;s the Federal Reserve that is responsible for creating the supply dollars, not the US Treasury.&nbsp; &nbsp; The US Treasury can issue dollars in the form of US States Notes but has not done so since 1971.&nbsp; These types of dollars are commonly known as red stamps and are collectible now.&nbsp; &nbsp; The only dollars in circulation now are Federal Reserve Notes.&nbsp;&nbsp; The supply of Federal Reserve dollars are 100% the domain of the Federal Reserve. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the Federal Reserve needs actual paper money printed, then it contracts with the Bureau of Engraving to print this currency.&nbsp;&nbsp; These dollar bills are then shipped to the Federal Reserve and made available to the US Banking system.&nbsp; The Federal Reserve pays the US Treasury for the printing services.&nbsp;&nbsp; It does not pay them anything for the actual FRNs nor does it pay the US Treasury any interest on what has been printed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
