Bureau of Engraving and Printing

So I will switch back and read from Neely Fuller Jr.'s.

file again I was I guess proud would be first very proud but then I was also like man Mr. Fuller was doing pretty well at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing because it has all these different cash awards that he got for doing well and raises and all that other stuff especially when you adjust for inflation like man I for sure all that type of Fuller let me hold $10 I've seen your awards man you can let me hold $10 You can let me, you got speaking, let me hold $10.

Like, man, you can let me hold $10, Fuller.

Look here.

This is October 1st, the period October 1, 1984 through September 30, 1985 for Neely Fuller Jr. at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where he got an $1,823 award.

It reads, this position is charged with responsibility for protecting and maintaining the safety safety again and security for employees visitors products and properties in and around the bureau of engraving and printing patrols on foot designated areas to detect violations of authorized persons to enter exit inspects packages brought in or taken out of the bureau that sounds like you might have to do some bomb detection I would have loved to have asked him that.

Did you have to do that? Check packages for bombs? Jesus Christ.

What is that? Dill, Reb, Kaczynski, McVeigh.

Although I had a hunch something was gonna happen when they named a new treasurer over a year ago.

And normally the first thing you see as soon as there's a new treasurer and a new secretary is they get together for a big photo op of them signing their names on a piece of paper, and then the Bureau of Engraving and Printing turns it into a printing block, and it's all over the place.

When nothing happened for a year, I sort of suspected something was going on, but I really couldn't figure out what and I had no expectation that it would be this.

I thought the delay was more because of the eventual redesign of the currency, which I guess we'll get to a little bit later.

That would be very, very interesting.

Um, great.

So obviously notes, uh, when and if that Trump signature happens it will be done by the BEP, uh, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and their current facility is right there in Washington, DC, kinda down the street from the Treasury building.

But there was plans-

Ed, we're dealing with coins and not paper money, right?

Yes, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is responsible for making our paper bills.

They have facilities in Washington, D.C., as well as Fort Worth, Texas.

There's two different facilities because of continuity of government reasons, just like the Mint has multiple facilities to make our circulating coins.

And it's one of the... common misnomers.

When people hear about the United States Mint, they think, oh, so you make the paper money.

So people are familiar with the mint broadly, but they mix it up with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

I want to echo something that Ventra said.

In God We Trust became a part of the design of U.S. currency, paper money, in 1957.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has incorporated the motto on all currency since 1963.

In God We Trust is also engraved on the wall above the Speaker's dais in the Chamber of the House of Representatives and over the entrance to the Chamber of the Senate.

Great Seal of the United States on july fourth seventeen seventy six the continental congress appointed a committee to create a seal for the united states of america following the appointment of two additional committees each building upon the other the great seal was finalized and approved on june twenty seventeen eighty two The great seal has two sides, an obverse, or front side, and a reverse side.

And it wasn't until late December of 1966. when Al Berger, Tag Berger, as many people knew him, was one of the pioneers of the whole tagging program and following it, was going through a mixture that he had bought from a bunch of nuns at some nunnery somewhere, and of course going through with his ultraviolet light, and suddenly some of these three-cent coils started glowing.

And so he immediately contacted the post office department, They were rather dumbfounded, but they went back through their records at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and found that, indeed, there had been a press run of the Three Cent Liberty stamp that had been phosphorescent tagged.

But then they found out that the entire press run had been sent to Look Magazine.

Really?

Both of them are my friends, and they're doing such an amazing job with the Trump administration.

First of all, the Treasurer of the United States, Brandon Beach, and then the Director of Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Mike Brown, who's also from my hometown.

How about that?

Yeah.

It's gonna be great.

It's gonna be really wonderful to get those out there.

It's, uh, it's quite an honor to get to serve as the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Uh, when people talk about American manufacturing-

But when I was a student, I had a ton of jobs.

I was a tour guide at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

I was a junior pollster at one of the big Democratic polling firms.

I worked at the – I was an intern at the Federal Trade Commission in the Office of Public Affairs.

Both of them are my friends, and they're doing such an amazing job with the Trump administration.

First of all, the Treasurer of the United States, Brandon Beach, and then the Director of Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Mike Brown, who's also from my hometown.

How about that?

That's pretty wild.

It's gonna be great.

It's gonna be really wonderful to get those out there.

It's, uh, it's quite an honor to get to serve as the director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

Uh, when people talk about American manufacturing-

He's the 46th treasurer of the United States appointed by President Trump in 2025.

The treasurer of the U.S. oversees the U.S. Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

And in that capacity, Mr.

Treasurer, you have some news about a coin that you're minting, a $1 coin to honor America's 250th anniversary.
