When you think of a visit to Denver, do you think Federal Reserve? The last time that Sherri visited, we went to the Denver Mint. Then she heard that there was a Federal Reserve and we knew that we needed to plan a tour for this visit.Thankfully Sherri's plane landed early Thursday, because that was the ONLY day that I could get in the reserve. We did have to email a list of everyone so they could do a background check. Surprisingly ,they let us all in. Unfortunately they did not allow cameras or weapon of any kind.
We did get to see the money. First we had to endure a slightly boring but informative video followed by a somewhat dry tour guide. Her job title was an Analyst, I'm thinking that she drew the short straw and had to lead the tour. Pretty much we saw the lobby of the building and a basement room where they processed the money. It was a little shocking to think that we saw a million dollars bundled in a cart. They did not take up to see the vault.
Once the tour was over, they brided us to leave the building by handing us a stash of shredded money. The kids and Sherri were thrilled.

I like to think of money is big vaults that, ala Scrooge McDuck, I can swim through.
