My Son's experience with the BEP at the ANA

At the Worlds Fair of Money the BEP had a special program designed to teach children how money is made. Each child would design their own idea for a bill. They would then transfer it to a plesiglass "plate. The plate would then be run on the BEP's antique Spider Press.

That is so cool! What a fascinating experience for a YN!

 

He also got to run the press for one of the limited edition prints that RickieB posted about...

 

There's nothing like "hands-on" experience. Totally cool!

 

Great picture story. A really neat experience for your son.

 

Very cool. Looks like the experience made a great impression on him!

Can you guys get a clear scan of the note he made to post here. The pic is a little blurry.

 

Looks like Kirby and MetaKnight on his note. :thumb: Can't go wrong with some Video Game currency.

 

You just reminded me of something I saw on the net before... DollarBillFace.com

 

good eye!

 

That is awesome, I wish they had done that in 06 when I took my kids.

 

great pictures, congrats Ziggy9.1!

 

Very cool! Sounds(and looks) like it was a lot of fun. Congrats!

 

I saw that spider press! I also saw the billion dollar display.

 

Neat!
