Revised 2023 Federal Reserve Note Print Order
On February 1, 2023, the Board of Governors approved a revision to its print order to the U.S. Treasury Department’s Bureau of Engraving & Printing for fiscal year (FY) 2023. The revised print order increases the total number of notes from a range of 4.5 billion to 8.6 billion notes to 4.6 billion to 8.7 billion notes, an increase of 1.3 to 1.4 percent. The total value of the revised order is $166.6 billion to $190.5 billion. The revised order includes additional $2 notes, given higher than expected demand.
