The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, or BEP, is a United States Department of the Treasury agency that is responsible for designing paper money notes and security documents for the nation's Federal Reserve central bank. The Bureau's Washington, D.C. facility is one of several BEP locations throughout the nation, located along the city's 14th and 15th Streets and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Free half-hour guided tours are offered Mondays through Fridays at the facility, with the exception of federal holidays and the week between the Christmas and New Year's holidays. Visitors can also explore the BEP's visitor center, which offers exhibits related to the Bureau's operations, and watch an introductory documentary film about the Bureau.
