Bureau Of Engraving And Printing

Just steps away from the National Mall and the Washington Monument, The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is where all the paper currency in the U. S. is printed.  Take a guided tour and see the presses that print out over $450 million a day.

What's New Insider Tips
 

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing

Show me the money! Even die-hard socialists can't help but smile on parts of the 25-minute tour.  Keep an eye out for the signs by the Bureau's employees. Examples include the opening, "The Buck Starts Here" to  "Just think how I feel, I printed my lifetime salary in a few minutes".  April – Sept. free time-stamped tickets are available at the Raoul Wallenberg St. entrance starting at 7:45. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is a popular attraction, so get tickets early. During the tourism off-season, you don’t need to get tickets.

The guided tour ends in the giftshop/visitor center, where you can get all sorts of currency related items.
