VIDEOS: BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING IN 1920
An October 31, 2016 Coin World article by Arthur L. Friedberg highlights video footage taken at the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing in 1920.

A nine-second promotional video from a service called Framepool offers a rarely seen glimpse of the currency printing process in the days of four-subject sheets. The clip is one of several offered for sale under the subject heading “Bureau of Engraving and Printing / Money Printing Company / Washington / USA / 1920.” It shows the work involved in printing one sheet of currency, that if you look closely enough, you will see it is from the Third Charter Period of national bank notes. The scene is a far cry from the promotional videos put out by the BEP today and is a reminder of how far things have come. Other clips include ones showing plate engraving, counting, inspecting, and other aspects of the production process.
