When did the BEP start production at its' Forth Worth facility, and were all notes printed in DC prior to that?

Thanks zeewool, I appreciate it. Just out of curiosity, how does the BEP decide which run gets printed in DC and which goes to FW? I've tried looking at the production tables to see if I can figure out a pattern, but I can't. Perhaps you can shed some light on it?

No law set in stone, but very generally, D.C. prints the notes for the Eastern banks (Boston, N.Y., Philly, Cleveland, Richmond and Atlanta)....The rest usually fall to Fort Worth.

Due to printing equipment being down for scheduled maintenance, future bank requirement projections, and a vast array of other factors that could come into play at any given time, both locations are equipped with plates to take up the slack or even the complete production requirements of the other for short periods of time. Sometimes FW might do Chicago and Atlanta, sometimes D.C. might do them, sometimes a bank or two are split between the two facilities....I highly doubt that you will find a rule or rhythm in any production tables....It all revolves around a very flexible system of requirements versus capabilities versus time versus resources.

It is kinda "like a box of chocolates......you just never know what you're gonna get".
