U.S. Currency and the Fed
In this mini-lesson, you’ll learn about different denominations of U.S. currency, what makes something valuable as money and the role the Fed plays in the distribution of money.
Mini-Tour: The Gold Bar
The gold bar, weighing in at nearly 28 pounds, is our most popular exhibit. Learn more about it and how you can lift it.

Standing nearly 7 feet tall, this giant cube represents the size of 1 million Federal Reserve notes (but only contains 224 real bills). It’s a great place for a pic because you literally look like a million bucks!
