The job of the Federal Reserve System is to control the supply of money in the United States. Although it might seem like the Federal Reserve System prints the money as well, but this is in fact not true. The U.S. Treasury prints paper and coin currency and the Federal Reserve System distributes the money globally.

The Federal Reserve System controls the supply of money in the United States, managing how much money is available in the economy to influence interest rates and economic activity. It does not print money but regulates its distribution and oversees the banking system. This ensures the financial system operates safely and stably.
