FedCash® Services: United States Currency Program Packaging Update
April 12, 2023
The USCP, made up of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), will be transitioning existing strap bands of newly produced notes. Currently, strap bands of notes coming from the BEP contain language on bands that specifies the respective denomination, manufacturing equipment source and expected sequencing. In the near future, all strap bands of notes from the BEP will state the same language and no longer specify denomination, manufacturing equipment source and sequencing.
