Before 1928, the colour of the Treasury Seal varied from issue to issue.
After that date, the colour of the seal meant something special;
- Green : Federal Reserve Notes.
These bills are issued by the US central bank and are the only bills currently in circulation
- Blue : Silver Certificates.
Silver certificates were issued by the Treasury and backed dollar-for-dollar with silver on deposit.
- Orange : Gold Certificates.
Like silver certificates they were issued by the Treasury and backed with an equivalent amount of gold.
- Red : United States Notes
US Notes were issued directly by the federal government but functioned equivalently to Federal Reserve Notes.
- Brown : National Bank Notes & Federal Reserve Bank Notes
