After the Crowne Center, we went to the Money Museum. Kansas City is the location of one of the regional Federal Banks. The museum is free, but they do scan your ID, because you get to walk back and watch them print money.
The coin collection was really cool. They even had some original coins and bills from when the United States first became a nation.
The kiddos said it's important to look serious when you're dace is on money.
The money art was really cool!
The kiddos had a greater appreciation after trying simple origami.
You're not allowed to take any pictures at the money vault, but they were printing 20 dollar bills while we were there. One bin full is $8,640,000. We literally saw millions and millions of dollars. I was kind of hoping they gave out free samples but no such luck. They give you a bag of shredded bills at the end, so that's as close as I got to having some extra green.
