What does the Treasurer of the United States do?
The office of Treasurer of the United States is the only Treasury office older than the Department itself. The Treasurer was originally charged with the receipt and custody of government funds, though many of these functions have been taken over by different Treasury Bureaus. Responsibility for oversight of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) and the United States Mint was assigned to the Treasurer in 1981. In 1994, the Treasurer was named National Honorary Director of the U.S. Savings Bonds Campaign.
