The amount printed varies widely from year to year, depending on the state of the economy. Production figures can be found at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing website, linked below.
a mint Mints produce coins, not paper currency. In the U.S. all paper money is produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which is part of the Treasury Department. Until 1988 all paper money was printed at a single plant in Washington, DC. Increasing demand for paper money and continued production of $1 bills overloaded the Washington facility and a second printing plant was built in Fort Worth. Fort Worth bills can be identified by a tiny "FW" next to one of the plate numbers on a bill.
All US bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at facilities in Washington and Fort Worth.Regardless of internet rumors, urban legends, and even popular movies ("Who's Minding the Mint?") the US Mint does NOT print bills. They're a completely separate part of the Treasury Department and only make coins.
To clear things up, only coins have mint marks. US paper money is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing rather than the Mint. There are only two printing facilities, one in Washington and the other in Fort Worth. Bills printed at the latter facility have a tiny "FW" next to one of the plate-position numbers on the obverse. In general there is little difference in value between bills issued by the two locations.
