Buckley¹s artistic career as a designer was focused on literally making money. Out of high school, he began a seven-year apprenticeship in New York, training in the art of steel die and intaglio plate making used to print world-wide currencies, postage stamps and financial securities.

He moved on in 1967 to Washington, D.C., at the U.S. Treasury¹s Bureau of Engraving and Printing to begin his artistic career as a bank note designer. After six years, he went on to become the supervisor of the bank note design staff. He was responsible for the designs of many postage stamps, currency, Military Payment Certificates and security documents for the federal government.

He also designed the reverse of the 2006 Colorad State Quarter as well as autographing many certified coin labels.
