Participants will be treated to this educational tour opportunity during their visit to Dallas. Tour features include displays and exhibits showing the history of U.S. paper currency, the production process and its technology, an informative 15-minute film of the production process, a quarter-mile long elevated walkway tour overlooking the currency production floor, the Money Factory Gift Shop, and three live demonstration exhibits; a turn-of-the century spider press, a mutilated currency redemption desk, and an engraver’s bench.
Tuesday - Day Trip - Spa and Shopping: Participants will go to Southlake for shopping at Southlake Town Square and spa services at the Corinthian Wellness Spa (named best destination by D Magazine). Participants will be broken into three groups. While some shop, others will go to the spa and then switch activities so that everyone can be accommodated comfortably.
