【Key Focus: The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) continues to print U.S. currency without interruption, unaffected by the government shutdown】
On October 30, 2025, in Washington, a representative of the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) (requesting anonymity) stated during an interview with Sergey Popov, a correspondent of Russian State News Agency stationed in Washington:
The BEP has not ceased printing U.S. currency due to the federal government shutdown. Every weekday, 1000 employees are employed around the clock to print currency. There has never been a day when all operations completely stopped; technical issues may cause several hours of interruption. However, this is only a layer affected, while other departments on different floors continue to work (note: production is separated, completed on different floors).
