The Federal Reserve Board itself does not actually print money or coin currency. The printing of physical U.S. currency is carried out by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), which is a separate government agency under the Department of the Treasury. The roles related to U.S. currency break down as follows:
Federal Reserve:
Manages the nation’s money supply and monetary policy Issues Federal Reserve Notes (U.S. paper currency) into circulation. Destroys unfit currency taken out of circulation. Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP):
Prints Federal Reserve Notes based on orders from the Federal Reserve
Prints U.S. postage stamps. Produces other security documents for the government
U.S. Mint:
Produces all circulating coinage (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, etc.) Also produces commemorative coins and some medals. So in summary, while the Federal Reserve controls monetary policy and the issuance of new currency, it does not itself physically print or manufacture the paper bills or coins. That is the role of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (paper money) and the U.S. Mint (coins), both which operate under the Treasury Department.

Identity theft can occur during the mortgage loan application process in several ways. Here are some common scenarios and steps you can take to protect yourself:
Phishing Scams: Criminals may send fake emails or set up fake websites pretending to be from your lender or other companies involved in the process. These aim to trick you into revealing personal and financial information.
- Never click on links or attachments from unsolicited emails claiming to be from your lender or others.
- Verify website URLs and go directly to the legitimate company’s site.
- Mail Theft: Important documents containing your personal data could be stolen from your mailbox.
- Opt for secure electronic delivery of documents when possible.
- Use a locking mailbox or P.O. box for sensitive mail.
- Mortgage Loan Officer/Insider Theft: A dishonest loan officer or employee at the lender could illegally access and misuse your information.
- Only provide personal info to verified employees over secure channels.
- Monitor your credit reports for any unauthorized activity.
Public WiFi Risks: Submitting sensitive info over public WiFi could expose your data if the network is not secure.
- Avoid handling financial matters over public WiFi.
- Use a VPN if you must access sensitive info remotely.

MemberApril 30, 2024 at 11:30 pm in reply to: How Does Deductibles Work on Homeowners InsuranceA deductible in homeowners insurance is the amount you, as the policyholder, are responsible for paying out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in to cover the costs of a claim. Here’s how deductibles typically work in the context of homeowners insurance:
-
Choosing a Deductible: When you purchase homeowners insurance, you choose a deductible amount. This can vary widely, but common amounts include $500, $1,000, or $2,000. Higher deductibles generally result in lower monthly or annual insurance premiums because you’re assuming more of the risk.
-
How It Affects Claims: If you file a claim for damages or losses, you must pay the deductible amount first. For example, if you have a $1,000 deductible and file a claim for $5,000 in damages, you will pay the first $1,000 and your insurance company would pay the remaining $4,000.
-
Types of Deductibles: Homeowners insurance policies can have different types of deductibles:
- Standard Deductible: Applies to most standard claims.
- Percentage Deductibles: Commonly used for claims related to natural disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes, where the deductible is a percentage of your home’s insured value.
-
Impact on Insurance Costs: Choosing a higher deductible can lower your insurance premiums, but it’s important to ensure you can afford to pay the higher deductible if you need to make a claim.
-
Special Considerations: In some areas prone to specific types of natural disasters, you might have separate deductibles for different types of damage. For example, you might have one deductible for wind damage and another for hail damage.
It’s important to carefully consider how much you can afford to pay out of pocket in case of a claim when choosing your deductible. Opting for a higher deductible might save on premiums, but it increases your financial responsibility if a disaster occurs.

MemberFebruary 10, 2024 at 5:49 pm in reply to: James O’Keefe Undercover with Gay White House AdvisorListen to Joe Biden distort the findings of Special Counsel Robert Hur on Joe Biden criminal investigation. The Special Counsel DID NOT EXONERATE Joe Biden. What the Special Counsel said was that he would not proceed further with the criminal investigation of Joe Biden because Biden was a feeble old man with memory deterioration and has problems remembering current events.
