Federal Reserve Bank

Description

As one of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks in the United States, the St. Louis branch has made learning about our government's treasury department and its duties a fun experience. The bank offers tours for groups of up to 42 people, with three-week advance scheduling required. You will learn how many checks get cashed each day, where counterfeit money goes, how the vault door is opened and closed, and whether or not the vault holds real gold.
