How Money Is Made – Inside U.S. Money Printing Factory

The US dollar is the world’s most widely used currency — and one of the most secure. In this video, we go inside the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to watch how America’s money is made, from the cotton-linen substrate that isn’t actually paper to the three-stage printing process that gives every bill its distinctive raised texture.
We break down the security features layer by layer: embedded security threads that glow under UV light, microprinting invisible to the naked eye, color-shifting ink, and the $100 bill’s 3D blue ribbon — a woven strip containing over a million micro-lenses per inch that no known technology can copy. We follow the process from offset printing through intaglio and letterpress, and explain why it takes 72 hours for the ink to dry.
Then we head to the US Mint, where billions of coins are struck every year under tens of tons of pressure. From 1,500-degree annealing furnaces to the upsetting mill that creates the rim, we cover every step — including why the penny finally stopped production in 2025.
