The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of the Treasury responsible for designing, engraving, and printing all U.S. paper currency and various security documents. Its origins date back to 1861, when Congress authorized paper currency to fund the Civil War, and the Bureau was formally established in 1874.

The BEP's primary mission is to produce high-quality security documents that deter counterfeiting while meeting customer requirements. Operating under the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, it is financed through a revolving fund from product sales. Advanced printing techniques such as intaglio and offset printing ensure its products' security and quality, which include Federal Reserve Notes, government bonds, revenue stamps, and commemorative items.
