A world leader in printing technology, the Bureau also produces postage stamps, White House invitations, Treasury obligations and other U.S. securities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currency production methods have changed drastically since the BEP was established in 1862. At that time, just six people separated and sealed notes by hand in the basement of the Treasury building. The Bureau moved to its present site in 1914. The Fort Worth, Texas facility was created to meet increased currency production demands &#8211; it opened its doors in 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though new printing, production and examining technologies have brought us into the 21st Century, the Bureau&#8217;s engravers continue to use the same traditional tools that have been used for over 125 years &#8211; the graver, the burnisher, and the hand-held glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Department of the Treasury<br>Bureau of Engraving and Printing<br>Tour Office<br>14th and C Streets, S.W.<br>Washington, D.C. 20228<br>(202) 874-2330 (local)<br>1-866-874-2330 (toll-free)<\/th><th>Department of the Treasury<br>Bureau of Engraving and Printing<br>Western Currency Facility Tour and Visitor Center<br>9000 Blue Mound Road<br>Fort Worth, TX 76131<br>(817) 231-4000 (local)<br>1-866-865-1194 (toll-free)<\/th><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), the main money printing facility in the United States, operates two facilities &#8211; one in\u00a0Washington, D.C., and one in\u00a0Fort Worth, TX.\u00a0Tours are offered at both facilities.
