The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (who have the best domain name ever) released the brand new $10 bill yesterday in a big event by the Statue of Liberty in New York. Of course, all the bills will be printed off the presses in DC, over at 14th and C St. SW, and the first bills will be appearing in ATMs and cash registers starting early next year. I think it looks way nicer than the $50, but take a look for yourself. The BEP does accept walk-ins for tours right now as we’re in off-peak season. Tours happen every 15 minutes beginning at 9am til 10:45am and then again from 12:30 until 2:00pm.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
