Sheets of USD 20 bills roll through the printing press on July 12, 2012, at the US Bureau of Engraving (BEP) in Washington, DC, where the high-tech presses run 24-hours a day. The BEP is a government agency within the United States Department of the Treasury that designs and produces a variety of security products for the United States government, most notable of which is paper currency for the Federal Reserve. The BEP had its foundations in 1862 with workers signing, separating, and trimming sheets of Demand Notes in the Treasury building. With production facilities in Washington, DC, and in Fort Worth, Texas, during Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, the BEP produced approximately 23.5 million notes a day with a face value of approximately USD USD 453 million. During Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, approximately 5.8 billion notes were delivered at an average cost of 9.1 cents per note. Ninety-five percent of the notes printed each year are used to replace notes already in, or taken out of circulation. Between the Fort Worth and Washington facilities approximately 8.5 tons of ink per day were used during FY 2011. AFP PHOTO / Paul J. RICHARDS (Photo by Paul J. RICHARDS / AFP) (Photo by PAUL J.

Paris CNN Business  — 

France has seized a yacht owned by Russian oligarch Igor Sechin, the French finance ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

Sechin is the CEO of Russian oil giant Rosneft. The European Union sanctioned Sechin earlier this week, describing him as one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “most trusted and closest advisors, as well as his personal friend.”

The yacht, named “Amore Vero” — or “True Love” in Italian — arrived at the French Mediterranean port of La Ciotat in January. It was scheduled to leave the port on April 1.

“Thank you to the French customs officers who are enforcing the European Union’s sanctions against those close to the Russian government,” French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said in a tweet.

Sechin was deputy prime minister of Russia from 2008 until 2012. The European Union said his connections to Putin are “long and deep,” with the two men maintaining daily contact.

Earlier this week, Le Maire announced that France has set up a task force to complete a census of financial assets and luxury goods owned by Russian personalities targeted by EU sanctions.

BP (BP)said on Sunday that it would exit its 19.75% stake in Rosneft and give up two seats on the company’s board.
