The Homeland Security Act of 2002 reorganized the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and created the TTB.
The weight of a U.S. currency note, "regardless of denomination, is approximately one gram."
The bureau was created by "consolidating the operations of the Bureau of the Public Debt and the Financial Management Service," per Treasury Order 136-01.
The bureau's insignia contains a globe, binary numbers, an eagle, a shield, and a silhouette of a bank.
Passed in 1913, the 16th Amendment states that "the Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
The oldest national bank is First National Bank of McConnelsville, which has the same OCC charter since 1863.
From 2022 to 2025, the bureau is celebrating the "accomplishments and contributions made by women of the United States" with its American Women Quarters Program.
