Great place to learn about that outdated green stuff some people carry in their wallet. ;-)
Believe it or not, you can tour their Money Museum for free. "What happens to dollar bills when they're worn out?" "What does a million dollars look like?" "How do you spot a counterfeit?"
The Money Museum is located in the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. The museum is free and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00 pm. The Money Museum makes money fun! It has informative displays on the history of American currency, but its more outlandish exhibits are the real attraction. There is a machine that passes old, unusable bills through glass tubes and into a shredder right before visitors’ eyes (Fun fact: the bank regularly shreds around $10 million a day). The resulting money-fetti is then given to the guests as a souvenir. Across from this display, there is a huge glass cube that is stuffed with a million dollars in $1 bills that weighs in at over 2,000 pounds of currency. There are two other million dollar displays just a few feet away in higher denominations that people can take their pictures with. There is also an old elevator shaft that has been filled with over $50,000 in coins, creating a huge money pit guests can stand above on a glass floor.
