For those who have never seen the process of how money is made, or the history of money in the United States, I strongly recommend these videos. They are from the History Channels Modern Marvels. I personally did not know the exact process. These are very educational.

In July 2010 CNET.com ran a story on the B.E.P. and printing the new $100 notes, which have since been delayed for release due to printing problems. Check it out, there are a lot of great behind the scenes photos of the printing process and good captions to go along with each photo. Making the next-gen Benjamin from news.cnet.com [07/01/2010]
Great. I am still a bit confused about the process of placing the hammers and anvils and the number of die pairs in operation at the same time. I want to learn how transition mules happen.
