How U.S. dollars being made.
U.S. dollars are being made by U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP).
The BEP is one of the largest currency printing operations in the world with facilities in Washington, D.C. and Fort Worth, Texas. Current BEP currency production is quite different from its beginnings in 1862, which consisted of a handful of people separating notes with a hand-cranked machine in the basement of the Treasury building.
Technology has brought the BEP a long way to a state-of-the-art manufacturing operation producing U.S. paper currency.
The production of this currency is not an easy or simple task, but one that involves highly trained and skilled craftspeople, specialized equipment, and a combination of traditional old world printing techniques merged with sophisticated, cutting edge technology.
Overall, there are numerous, distinctive steps required in the production process.
