Free Shredded Cash 💰 at the Federal Reserve Bank 🏦‼️
Never thought of visiting a "bank" as a tourist attraction until I discovered this free tour at the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City! 🏛️ No tickets needed, but security is strict. Bags, water, and electronics must be scanned separately. Even belts need to be removed—but the staff are super friendly! 😊 Inside the Bank: ❌ No photos allowed at the main counter. ✅ Only the first floor is open to visitors (upper floors are for staff only). You can finish the tour pretty quickly! Highlights: 1️⃣ Presidential Commemorative Coins – Every coin issued in U.S. history. 2️⃣ Fed’s History & Currency Exhibits – Learn how money works! 3️⃣ Photo Walls – 2 physical + 1 digital spot. 📸 Digital photos can be emailed to you – so fun! 4️⃣ Drawing Zone – Use crayons and paper to create coin rubbings on textured tables. 5️⃣ Interactive Displays – See how thick $4 billion in cash is, or what your height is "worth" in dollar stacks! 6️⃣ Watch Money Processing – Through glass windows, observe counting and printing processes. ⚠️ No photos here – cameras are monitored! 💵 Mind-blowing to see so much cash in one place! 7️⃣ Free Souvenirs – Everyone gets a bag of shredded out-of-circulation cash and a mini notebook! Final Thoughts: A unique and fun experience – definitely worth a visit! 👍 #KansasCity #FederalReserve #TravelDiaries #MoneyMuseum #FreeAttraction #KCTravel #USATravel #CurrencyLovers #UniqueExperiences
