In subsection (a), the words "The Secretary of the Treasury shall engrave and print" are substituted for "The work of engraving and printing ... shall be performed at the Treasury Department" in 31:415 because of the source provisions restated in section 321(c) of the revised title.

The words "other security documents and checks" are substituted for "checks" because only currency and bonds must be printed from intaglio plates.
