Bureau of Engraving and Printing (Washington, DC)
The highlight of our recent day trip to Washington DC was our tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at the U.S. Treasury. If you want the chance to see the printing process and be in the presence of more cash than you'll ever see in a lifetime, this is an awesome tour! Check it out... The Bureau of Engraving and Printing is right off the Mall on 14th Street (next to the Holocaust Museum) and very close to the other museums of the Smithsonian. Tours are FREE but you must get tickets which will tell you your entry time (more info about tours HERE ) . On our last few trips to DC, the tickets for the day were all gone by mid-morning. This time, (maybe because it was a really hot day in the middle of week) , we were able to get tickets for the 5:45 tour ( we got to the ticket office around 12:30 pm) . One person can get up to 4 tickets, so if you are in Washington DC, it's well worth it to send someone over to pick up you...
