Today I took the kids to visit the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Western Facility. It’s where the money is made.
They don’t allow you to bring any kind of recording device in so we have no pictures.
Still it was nice to see the exact spot where inflation meets reality.
At one point I read a sign on the wall that “The currency here is not legal for use until disbursed to the Federal Reserve System” or some such.
“Does that mean it’s not real money, Dad?”
“Kids… It’s all fake and has been at least since the early 70’s.”
And now you know. And now, so do the other guests at the museum.
Just making the world a brighter place a few kids at a time.
