Item Description

Federal Reserve Notes were first issued in 1914, and are liabilities of the Federal Reserve System. They were redeemable in gold until 1933. After that date they stopped to be redeemable in anything, much like United States Notes (which later led to the halting of the production of United States Notes).

 image on the front is Abraham Lincoln-- on the reverse is a picture of a group of men looking up to one man on the left and Christopher Columbus's discovery of the New World on the right.
