Money doesn’t grow on trees, but…

If you have ever wondered what millions of dollars looks like, then look no further than Fort Worth. At the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of Engraving and Printing Western Currency Facility, students can tour the ultra-secure federal facility and watch as millions of dollars get printed right before their eyes.  An enclosed, quarter-mile-long elevated walkway over the production floor allows observing the printing process. Before or after the 45-minute tour, spend some time on two floors of interactive exhibits. Groups of 10 or more must schedule in advance and are limited to 75 visitors per tour.
