If you’ve ever dreamed of making billions of dollars in mere minutes, visit “the money factory,” aka the Western Currency Facility Tour and Visitor Center (9000 Blue Mound Rd., 817/231-4000, www.moneyfactory.gov, Mon.–Fri. 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m., free admission). An elevated walkway over the production floor allows visitors to preside over millions of freshly printed bills as part of a 45-minute tour including interactive exhibits and an informative theater film. Tours are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and be sure to allow 30 minutes for everyone to make it through the not-surprisingly heavy security.
