If your question below is in reguards to
"PAPER MONEY",that would be through "The Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing". Paper money is
printed in the Washington DC location. Below is
there web site.

The United State Mint in Washington, DC operates as
the Nations Headquarters. It has never minted coins
in the history of the U.S. Mint, in Washington DC.

I verified this on the U.S. Mint "Time Line", and
'Rolls in History".
