7. Federal Reserve Seal
The Federal Reserve System seal, previously, the seal of a Federal Reserve Bank was printed on each bill of all denominations. Beginning with the $100 bill in 1996, a general seal representing the Federal Reserve System began replacing individual Reserve Bank seals, and this general seal is now used on all of our higher denomination notes. The $1 and $2 bills still carry the District seals, which feature a letter that indicates the issuing Reserve Bank. Chicago, which is the 7th Federal Reserve District, is designated with the letter C on the note at top.
