U.S. Department of the Treasury to Print Currency at New Plant in Beltsville

The U.S. Treasury Department will replace its main currency-printing plant in Washington, D.C. with a new facility in Beltsville, Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. announced on Wednesday.

The government will construct a new Bureau of Engraving and Printing production facility on the current site of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Prince George’s County.

The “environmentally conscious production facility” will produce paper currency and other federal security products, Hogan (R) said in a news release.

Bureau spokeswoman Lydia Washington said the 104-acre site was transferred from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to the Treasury Department on Monday.

I hope that reaching this facility on public transit gets easier before opening day.

The story was on WTOP, the DC-area all-news station, but yours is the only post I've seen.

And good morning.

so I thought it might have already been posted here. I also see that the Baltimore Banner has set up their new site and that there are a few posts to read. It looks like it should provide some additional analysis and be competitive with the Sun.

BTW, I wouldn't mind getting a scoop of cash from the Mint.
