Federal Reserve Notes

After the 1893 and 1907 financial panics, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was passed. The Act created the Federal Reserve System as the nation's central bank to regulate the flow of money and credit for economic stability and growth. The system was authorized to issue Federal Reserve Notes, Now the only U.S. currency produced.

Obligation- "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private, and is redeemable in lawfull money at the United States Treasury, or at any federal reserve bank"

Federal Reserve Notes are 'Fiat Currency', which means that the government is not obligated to give the holder of a note gold, silver, or any specific tangible commodity in exchange for the note.
