The Organized Secret Service was started in 1985, and was initially an organization responsible for the protection of American currency against counterfitting attempts. In 1883, the Secret Service was finally officially acknowledged by the U.S Treasury Department. From 1883, the Secret Service would go on to expand into other areas of government, including being the personal bodyguards for the President of the United States.

The US Secret Service is the US government agency nominally in charge of counterfeiting. It was originally part of the Treasury Department , but its role became one of crime-fighting and was expanded in 1901 to include protection of the President and government officials, for which it is now chiefly known. In 2003, the Secret Service was placed under the Department of Homeland Security.
