Talk:Bureau of Engraving and Printing

1999 Twenty
any information of the twenty dollar bill printed in 1999 with blue ink on the left side of the bill?

Tourist Attraction
Perhaps we could expand on this article, talking about the tourist part of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. If possible from a Neutral PoV? Tony 23:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Production figures
We need to indicate if the production figures are in units or in dollars. That is, for 2000, were 492,800,000 ten-dollar bills printed or were 49,280,000 ten-dollar bills printed, amounting to $492,800,000? --Tysto 20:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Self Inconsistency?
"In 1877, the Bureau became the sole producer of all United States currency." "The BEP does not produce any U.S. coins"

Taken together, this seems to indicate that U.S. coins are not considered currency. - Tmhand 14:15, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The term "currency" in the U.S. usually refers to paper money unless your using it in the context of international currencies; I do see what you mean though. --Kurt 20:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Who told you that? --68.49.229.110 (talk) 23:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've changed it to the Bureau became the sole producer of all United States bills and notes. Is this ok?  Jo  e  I  22:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Eliminates confusion. Thanks. -- Tmhand 15:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Cotton and linen- not paper
They use a mixture of cotton and linen- not paper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.203.228.244 (talk) 06:09, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Paper is made from a variety of materials, not just wood pulp. Linen, cotton and even old rags can be made into paper. This article could describe the paper in more detail, though. --DThomsen8 (talk) 17:07, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Print it
I've looked for this a couple of places on WP (not to mention the Bu of E&P site...), but can't find it, so... I've heard BuE&P spends over half its time/budget printing $1 notes. True? If so, how much does that amount to? If not, what's the right #? Thx. (Which also addresses the 2006 "production" question above...)

Secret siding
I've read that there is a secret railroad siding under the BEP, and that FDR would use it for secret trips during WW II. Is it still there? Why was it built? Can anyone fill out the history of this rail siding? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.170.197.222 (talk) 02:14, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Does the US Mint print on paper?
This sentence seems to suggest that coins can be made from paper, which doesn't seem right to me:

"The BEP is one of two U.S. agencies in currency production in the case of printing paper currency; the other is the United States Mint, which mints coinage"
