Message:: [QUOTE="jays-dad, post: 969349, member: 26881"]It was a good trip. Everyone that worked there was awesome, except the tour guide, she was a ..... And of course she was the one I interacted with the most. She literally said, no questions, at the beginning of the tour. In the middle she tells us that our group was so quiet. Someone tells her, you told us no questions. She says, well I meant.... Got to see the "new" $100 being printed. They've been printing it for two years to prepare for the Feb 2011 release. I couldn't see it too well, but what I could see was a radical change. The people on the work floor were very friendly, pretend offering us sheets of money (the tour is on an enclosed walkway over the actual plant). One guy actually took a sheet of 32 $100s and folded it into a giant paper airplane, and then pretended he would throw it up to us. Wish I had a video camera for that. An educational tour, neat to actually see the money. There were exhibits and a movie about money printing. However, for pure educational value I'm sure there are videos on the internet that would be better. Too many distractions, the tour guide is telling things and you're too busy checking out the stacks and stacks of money, but purely from a collector's point of view mind you, not from a greedy wanna have it perspective. If you are going to be in or around Fort Worth, it is worth it, the price is right ($0). However, I wouldn't go too far out of my way for a visit.[/QUOTE]
