I learnt something new today amongst other things. Really I thought there was one Federal Reserve Bank in the US, but today I found out that there are actually 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Each have identifying items that distinguish them on the banknotes they issue.

6 F Atlanta
7 G Chicago
8 H St Luis
9 I Minneapolis
10 J Kansas City
11 K Texas
