5th Grade Trip to the Federal Reserve Bank and Stamp Fulfillment Center

We had way too much fun at the Federal Reserve Bank, but who wouldn't have fun when you are surrounded by money!?  We learned about currency throughout history and the role that the Federal Reserve Bank plays in our banking system.  We also helped analyzed money to find counterfeit bills.

This gold bar was worth over $450,000!  It was very heavy!

These students were creating their own currency.

Then we traveled deep into the caves to visit the Stamp Fulfillment Center.  We learned about how they create and process orders for stamps from all over the world.
