Question

Every year, the Federal Reserve Board places an order to print currency (bank notes), 70% of

which is to replace damaged (or unfit) notes in circulation. Only the Federal Reserve can place
currency printing orders, and those orders are submitted to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
(BEP) which is a part of the Treasury Department (i.e. part of the executive branch of the U.S.
government). Therefore, even though the dollars are being printed at the BEP, the order to print
them comes from the Federal Reserve, which makes sense, because it is the Federal Reserve that
has been tasked to control
the worker layoffs in the public sector
the worker layoffs in the private sector
O the money supply
O the prices of goods and services

The Federal Reserve is semi-decentralized and is run by a Board of Governors appointed by the President of the United States.

One of the major responsibilities of the Federal Reserve is to ensure that there is enough currency and coins circulating through the financial system to meet public demands.

Each year, the Fed places an order to print currency, with 70% of it being to replace damaged or unfit notes in circulation.

The order to print currency comes from the Federal Reserve, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) which is a part of the Treasury Department carries out the printing process.
