Why does the Federal Reserve have a monopoly on the issuing of American Currency?

The U.S. Treasury can sell bonds, so why not currency? Both are essentially the same. Cash is instant, but bond you wait to collect. Why does the Federal Reserve exist to loan us money at interest if Congress has the right to print money interest free?
