The central bank in the United States, known as the Federal Reserve, does not typically loan money directly to corporations. Its primary functions include acting as a financial adviser to the government, loaning money to banks (especially in its role as the lender of last resort), and issuing currency (though coins are actually issued by the U.S. Mint, the Federal Reserve is responsible for distributing both coins and currency).
