The Bureau of Engraving and Printing: By Will
Hi Guys, it’s Will. After a great sleep, a subway ride, and the White House tour, our class headed to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a factory making American Dollar Bills. We entered through security and into the large building, where money making machines and crews work 24 hours per day making money. The making of money begins when blank paper (actually cloth, containing 75% cotton and 25% linen) enters a machine and a water mark is printed, a small face that is really hard for counterfeiters to fake. These water-marked sheets of cloth are then sent through many more stages where every time they become more and more like paper money. Finally the bills are packaged and sent into stacking columns where they will be sent to where you and your parents may receive them. After, we left for the Washington Monument where we traveled into an elevator carrying us to 555 ft., an amazing view of beautiful Washington DC. This monument is dedicated to the George Washington, our first president..jpg)
