Who here can tell me who issues American Currency?

Question

The answer is surprising. And most people don't know the correct answer to this question.

And if you say Federal Reserve, then who controls the federal reserve?

Answer 1

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) headquarters is located in Washington, DC. The BEP is responsible for designing and printing our paper currency. It is under the control of the US Department of Treasury.

The Federal Reserve is something completely different. It is the central bank of the United States. It was created to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. Over the years, its role in banking and the economy has expanded. The Federal Reserve System is a network of twelve Federal Reserve Banks and a number of branches under the general oversight of the Board of Governors.

The seven members of the Board of Governors are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate to serve 14-year terms of office. Members may serve only one full term, but a member who has been appointed to complete an unexpired term may be reappointed to a full term. The President designates, and the Senate confirms, two members of the Board to be Chairman and Vice Chairman, for four-year terms.

I'm not sure if you are trying to get someone to answer with a conspiracy theory about the Fed being controlled by interests outside the US. There is a long history of distrust of the Fed because of it's secrecy. Meetings of some components of the Fed are held behind closed doors, and the transcripts are released with a lag of five years. Even expert policy analysts are unsure as to the logic behind some Fed decisions. I don't think this necessarily points toward some vast conspiracy, but who knows?

United States Treasury runs the Federal Reserves and the Mint which make and produce, and distribute currency.
