Did you know that the United States only prints money in two locations in the world? This is one of the two, and it is a really cool place to visit if you want to see how your currency is made. We took a FREE, yes, FREE 45 min tour of the facility and learned a lot about the process... More

We took this tour just so we could see paper money being printed. Found it to be very professionally administered and best of all free. Gotta go thru security and no cameras. Found out a lot about our money. $100 bill is the largest being printed. A dollar bill is not in circulation long. No free samples though. Well worth... More

This is a really interesting place to visit and hardly anyone knows it is here because they don’t advertise. Visitors get to look down on the production line at billions of dollars being printed and the entire process is explained by very knowledgeable tour guides. In the museum portion of the tour, they have an exhibit that explains how they... More

The tour is a little long for young kids, but great for older elementary and up. We were fascinated by the workers rolling out huge sheets of money, and learned a lot. There is only the one here and in DC, so go if you're in the area! More

My dad worked here for 10 years, so we got to do the tour multiple times. Seeing the process involved in how our money is made is truly an experience - especially the plate-making process. More
