For many, bills and coins are worth far more than their face value. At the Chicago Fed Money Museum, uncover the illustrious lives and hidden meanings behind some of America's most storied assets. From moon landings to conspiracy theories—Money Did That.



EXPERIENTIAL

The Chicago Federal Reserve shreds a whopping $20 million in unfit bills every day. This National Dollar Day, visitors have the honor of pressing the big red button and doing it themselves.




SOUVENIR

The average U.S. dollar has a lifespan of just over six years, changing hands about 110 times per year. In this limited-edition Choose Your Own Adventure book, you get to decide how our hero bill journeys through its lifespan—where it goes, who it meets, and what it’s spent on.
