Lonely Planet review

If money does not grow on trees, where does it come from? You can see for yourself at the National Bureau of Engraving & Printing, where all US paper currency is designed, engraved and printed. Forty-minute guided tours demonstrate how around US$700 million a day is churned out, and show exhibits on counterfeiting and unusual bills. All that green is a big thrill with the kids. Arrive early, as only a limited number of tickets are distributed.

Line up at the NBEP ticket kiosk (Raoul Wallenberg Pl) for tickets. You can receive up to five tickets for entrance at a designated time on the same day.
