<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SteveInTampa, post: 1571046, member: 27107&quot;]The <b>Register of the Treasury</b> was an office of the United States Treasury Department. In 1919, the Register became the Public Debt Service, which, in 1940, became the Bureau of Public Debt. The signature of the Register of the Treasury was found on all United States currency until 1923, along with that of the Treasurer of the United States.</p><p><br /></p><p>The <b>Treasurer of the United States</b> is an official in the United States Department of the Treasury that was originally charged with the receipt and custody of government&nbsp; funds, though many of these functions have been taken over by different&nbsp; bureaus of the Department of the Treasury. Responsibility for oversight&nbsp; of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the United States Mint, and the United States Savings Bonds Division (now the Savings Bond Marketing Office within the Bureau of Public Dept)&nbsp; was assigned to the Treasurer in 1981. As of 2002 the Office of the&nbsp; Treasurer underwent a major reorganization. The Treasurer now advises&nbsp; the Director of the Mint, the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and&nbsp; Printing, the Deputy Secretary and the Secretary of the Treasury on matters relating&nbsp; to coinage, currency and the production of other instruments by the&nbsp; United States. </p><p><br /></p><p>The <b>Secretary of the Treasury</b> is the principal economic advisor to the President&nbsp; and plays a critical role in policy-making by bringing an economic and&nbsp; government financial policy perspective to issues facing the government.&nbsp; The Secretary is responsible for formulating and recommending domestic&nbsp; and international financial, economic, and tax policy, participating in&nbsp; the formulation of broad fiscal policies that have general significance&nbsp; for the economy, and managing the public debt. The Secretary oversees&nbsp; the activities of the Department in carrying out its major law&nbsp; enforcement responsibilities; in serving as the financial agent for the United States Government; and in manufacturing coins and currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
