The US Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), which is part of the Department of the Treasury. The Bureau's website is full of trivia and facts about dollar bills, very interesting to read.
The BEP has about 2300 employees spread out over an estimated 25 acres of office space in Washington D.C. The notes are actually produced at these offices, and at an extra printing office in Fort Worth, Texas.
Typically 40% of production is for $1 (one dollar) notes, about 10% for $100 notes, and about 16% of output being either $5, $10 and $20 notes. Very few $2 or $50 notes are made each year.
Coins in the USA are made by the United States Mint, also under the auspices of the US Dept. Of the Treasury, at separate sites in six different cities across the USA.
After manufacture notes and coins are taken to the Federal Reserve, the Institution responsible for distributing the money.
