Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP)

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s (BEP) mission is to design and produce United States Federal Reserve notes and other security documents, trusted worldwide.  The BEP does not produce coins - all U.S. coinage, coin-related products, medals, and silver and gold bullion coins are minted by the United States Mint . To request records concerning U.S. coinage, please visit the  U.S. Mint FOIA webpage . Additionally, the BEP does not use social security numbers, date of birth, or birth certificate ID numbers on U.S. Federal Reserve notes, or issue bank statements, financial statements, or payments on promissory notes. The BEP no longer produces Gold Certificates or Silver Certificates. Collection of the information to process your FOIA/PA request is authorized by 5 U.S.C. § 301 and Department of the Treasury’s regulations found at 31 C.F.R. Part 1 . The information you provide is used by BEP to administratively control and/or process requests for Federal agency records. Specific details as to the routine uses for this system are available under Privacy Act Systems of Records Notice Treasury.004, Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act Request Records--Treasury, 81 FR 78266 (Nov. 7, 2016).
