Paper currency production remains the core mission of this federal security printing facility.

The facility operates as an agency of the Department of the Treasury, creating security paper products for federal institutions. While the United States Mint handles coinage, this bureau prints Federal Reserve Notes alongside identification cards, military commissions, and official admission passes. Physical production is split between the capital site and a sister facility in Fort Worth.

Wartime currency shortages during the Civil War prompted Congress to authorize paper money to replace scarce coinage. Early operations required private banknote companies to print sheets before government clerks hand-trimmed and signed individual notes. Later legislation established in-house engraving to deter counterfeiting through geometric lathe patterns, intricate linework, and official Treasury seals.

The agency previously produced a broader range of state items, including postage stamps, postal money orders, and national passports. While passport manufacturing shifted to the Government Publishing Office, the bureau remains the primary engraver of federal debt instruments and Treasury bonds. Daily operations focus on high-volume security printing under strict federal oversight and perimeter surveillance.
