If you take issue with US currency - don't use cash. But your opinion that the "separation" bit has any bearing on the current design of physical US currency is incorrect.

Regardless of the technicality, it still is the central bank of the United States of America, and it should still be religiously neutral. Someone told this "private institution" that it should put the words on the currency, I can tell it to take it off. Door swings both ways.
