The Department of the Treasury.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is responsible for printing paper currency in the United States. It designs and produces federal reserve notes, which are commonly referred to as "dollars." The U.S. Mint, another agency under the Treasury Department, is responsible for producing coinage. Together, these agencies ensure the supply of physical currency in the economy.
Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution says that "The Congress shall have Power...To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin," and Section 10 says that "No State shall...coin Money". It is illegal for private citizens to coin money. The Supreme Court has ruled that Congress's power to coin money includes the power to print paper money and make it legal tender. The Federal Reserve decides how much money will be produced. Paper money is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and coins are produced by the United States Mint.
In the United States, the authority to print money lies with the Department of the Treasury, which is part of the executive branch of government. Specifically, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is responsible for producing paper currency, while the U.S. Mint, also under the Treasury Department, manufactures coins. The legislative and judicial branches, which are separate and independent of the executive branch, do not have the power to print money.
The primary role of the legislature is to make laws. The legislature also is responsible for regulating commerce and coining money.
