The Bureau of Engraving and Printing's main facility is in Washington, DC. The other plant is in Fort Worth, TX.
To tell where a bill was printed, look for a plate position indicator on the bill's front. It's a letter with a small number to the right and indicates where a particular bill was located on the printing sheet before the bills were cut apart.
If the indicator has a small "FW" to the left of the letter it was printed at Fort Worth. No "FW" means it was printed in Washington. For example
- A bill with the indicator B1 was printed in Washington.
- A bill with FWC2 came from Fort Worth.
