3:40 That has to be the most depressing job in all existence: staring at money going by you all day.

<>When you read articles about financial freedom, you may hear people drone on and on about how they are spending practically nothing so they can retire at a younger age, like 30. Conversely, they may have already achieved financial freedom and are bragging about how frugal they were so they could retire well before the typical retirement age.<>

Man, who wouldn't want to work at a place like this? And I don't mean that juvenile idea of taking as many bills hidden as you can, but rather the idea that you're helping produce what the whole world's coveting for, i.e. you are a part of something unique.

The only job where you can say "I make money" as a job figuratively and literately.

Are used to work for Dunbar 10 to 12 years ago picking up money from the BEP overnight the amount of money that’s in that building is absolutely mind numbing. Not to mention the amount of fire power that they have there, and that we carried moving that type of money.

I shot this video back in the 90's for the TV show called the 90's and I'm much richer for it!

Interesting. Does anyone know of an update to this? I'm wondering if the printing of the US money has changed at all. To prevent counterfeiting.

The machines are making more money than the workers.
