The US Treasury is the government department responsible for managing the federal finances of the United States, including the issuance of Treasury securities (such as Treasury bills, notes, and bonds) to finance government operations and national debt. Treasury securities are considered some of the safest investments due to the full backing of the US government. The Treasury also oversees federal revenue collection, including taxes, and manages the country's monetary policy in coordination with the Federal Reserve.
