United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing
The United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), is an agency of the Treasury Department that primarily prints Federal Reserve Notes, but also various other government security documents.
Federal Reserve Notes are printed at the Bureau's facilities in Washington, D.C. and in Fort Worth (Texas). The BEP also produces other government products such as postage stamps for the Postal Service, hand-engraved invitations commissioned by the White House, Treasury securities, identification cards, and naturalization certificates. The BEP does not produce any of the coins, a task that is the responsibility of the Mint.
The BEP was founded in 1861, when its workers signed, separated and clipped Demand Bill sheets in the Treasury building. In 1877, the bureau became the sole producer of all American coinage.
