The Bureau of Engraving and Printing

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing Welcome to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s (BEP) page. The BEP was established in 1862 and is the sole producer of U.S. currency notes.

If you are looking for BEP's official website, please visit www.moneyfactory.gov. The BEP had its foundations in 1862 with workers signing, separating, and trimming sheets of United States Notes in the Treasury building. Gradually, more and more work, including engraving and printing, was entrusted to the organization. Within a few years, the BEP was producing Fractional Currency, revenue stamps,

government obligations, and other security documents for many federal agencies. In 1877, the BEP became the sole producer of all United States currency. The addition of postage stamp production to its workload in 1894 established the BEP as the nation's security printer, responding to the needs of the U.S. government in both times of peace and war. Today, the BEP no longer produces government obligations or postage stamps, but it still holds the honor of being the largest producer of government security documents with production facilities in Washington, DC, and in Fort Worth, Texas.
