  detail: BEP is a Treasury manufacturing bureau whose two public services — free currency readers and mutilated-currency
    redemption — run on mailed paper forms, and its only software product is the free EyeNote end-user phone app; www.bep.gov
    has no developer page, no /api, no spec at any probed path, no GitHub organization, and its former data.gov organization
    (bep-gov) now returns 404.
