A fact from US Treasury specimen book appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 October 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that engraved portraits of thirteen presidents and twelve Treasury secretaries have been depicted on US banknotes since 1861? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/US Treasury specimen book.

Per WP:GALLERY: if it is desired to gather all relevant images into a single page, then that page should not be in Wikipedia page but rather in Wikimedia Commons under commons:Category:Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Such a page can then per WP:ELMAYBE be linked from here via {{commons}}or{{commonscat}} jnestorius^(talk) 15:50, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Updated as suggested. If a more structured presentation of the engravings is thought necessary, then I would suggest a separate list page.--Verbarson (talk) 20:29, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The {{Commons category|Bureau of Engraving and Printing|position=left}} link displays a warning (only in preview mode) in the navbox:
"Wikimedia Commons has media related to Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Preview warning: Commons category does not match the Commons sitelink on Wikidata – please check."
This is because the link expects to be from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing page, which would be logical. I suppose that someone could create a Commons category precisely matching this page, containing only those items that appeared in the specimen books, but I have neither the sources nor the inclination to do that. I have therefore left it as-is; a helpful link to those who are interested.--Verbarson (talk) 09:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
