US Treasury is responsible for overseeing the production of coins. They employ the US mint to make them.

My question is that the currency ( the US dollar note issued ) printed/issued by the Fed and why are the coins issued by the US treasury...

I think the printing also falls under responsibility of the US Treasury. It's just that the notes are liabilities of the Fed.
