Bureau of Engraving and Printing

Le Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) est un organisme gouvernemental au sein du ministère américain du Trésor qui conçoit et produit toute une gamme de produits de sécurité pour le gouvernement des États-Unis. Les plus notables sont les billets de la Réserve fédérale.

La Réserve fédérale elle-même est la banque centrale des États-Unis d'Amérique. En plus des billets, le B.E.P. produit des valeurs du Trésor, les commissions militaires et certificats de mérite; des invitations et des cartes d'admission, et de nombreux types de cartes d'identité, les formulaires et autres documents de sécurité spéciales pour une variété d'organismes gouvernementaux.

Le B.E.P. ne produit pas de pièces de monnaie; ces dernières sont produites par le "United States Mint". Avec des installations de production à Washington, D.C., et Fort Worth, au Texas, le "Bureau of Engraving and Printing" est le plus grand producteur de documents de sécurité du gouvernement des États-Unis.
