Treasury Department

The United States Department of the Treasury was a pre-War department of the United States government. The Department of the Treasury was a federal executive department responsible for the creation and distribution of the United States dollar, collection of taxes, and management the United States debt, among other duties.

Background
In 1950, the Treasury Secretary John W. Snyder presented a replica of the Liberty Bell to West Virginia. It was put on display across the state between May 15 and July 4, 1950 for the United States Savings Bonds Independence Drive, and subsequently placed in front of the Charleston Capitol Building.

Any resident of Appalachia who won the Great Appalachian Sweepstakes were required to pay a gift tax. Failure to do so ran the risk of being reported to the Internal Revenue Service, the division of the Treasury Department responsible for tax collection and pursuing tax fraud.

The Secret Service, a division of the department tasked with protecting the nation's currency from counterfeiting as well as the leaders of government, appears in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update. Shortly before the Great War, the United States gold reserves were emptied from the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox and sent to Vault 79. Numerous members of the Secret Service were tasked with defending the stockpile.

Appearances
The Department of the Treasury is mentioned in Fallout 76 and in the Wastelanders update.
