Today I went to the Federal Reserve. It's a place in Atlanta where they sort money. At first I thought they made the money. Inside they have a whole system to sort and shred money. The people who work there wrap the bills into stacks and the stacks into bundles. 100 bills make a stack and 10 stacks make a bundle. They load the money on a cart. A computerized robot takes the cart and puts it on a truck. The truck then delivers the money to the bank. After the tour I got shredded money which was cool. I liked going to the museum. You should go there sometime.Monday, April 2, 2012

Hi Max,
ReplyDeleteI used to live and work just down the street from the Federal Reserve Building, but I didn't know they had tours. I also didn't realize that they shredded the money there. Were you able to tell what denomination any of the shredded money was before it was shredded? What did the robot look like?
Papa Ray and I are in California now and will be for most of the month of April. Today we went to the Joshua Tree National Park. I have a postcard for you that I will put in the mail tomorrow.
I hope you've been enjoying your spring break! Have a Happy Easter (eat a chocolate bunny for me!).
Love,
Nana
