Symbols of the United States Department of the Treasury include the Flag of the Treasury Department and the U.S. Treasury Seal. The original seal predates the department, having originated with the Board of Treasury during the period of the Articles of Confederation. The seal is used on all U.S. paper currency, and—like other departmental seals—on official Treasury documents.

The United States Customs Service was a federal law enforcement agency of the U.S. federal government. Established on July 31, 1789, it collected import tariffs, performed other selected border security duties, as well as conducted criminal investigations.
