Bureau of Printing and Engraving aka "The Money Factory"

The Bureau of Printing and Engraving also called the “money factory,” gives a tour of the printing machines and process of how we print our money.  You cannot take photos inside the factory, only in the lobby/gift shop.  95% of money printed is used to replace money that is deemed worn and as it is returned by banks, the Federal Reserve issues new money. Engravers intern for 10 years to learn how to design the money.
