In Washington the fuel secretary faced shortages and officials sought heat solutions. An Bureau of Engraving and Printing engineer devised burning redeemed revenue stamps and stamped checks to create steam. Wagons carried thousands of dollars in stamps as coal was layered for fuel, saving about a ton of coal daily and roughly 3160 monthly, while burning over a million dollars of fuel value in stamps. Uncle Sam tolerated the scheme as a needed heat source, noting the alternative would waste heat up the chimney.
