Money is all surrounding us.Every day, we see it, use it, and it is on the tip of our tongue.Did you ever stop to take into consideration where the money that you carry around every day comes from?
Making new money is a very unique job and no easy task.It has up to 65 steps. When the money in circulation(流通)gets dirty and worn out, it is replaced with new moneyThe old money is taken from banks and brought to places where it is destroyed. Usually, the old money is burned. The burned money is replaced by new paper money.
If old money is being replaced, then new money is printed in a place called a mint(造币厂).Large sheets of paper are printed with many pictures of some currency (流通货币).These large sheets are cut into individual bills.The individual bills are then put together in big stacks and then sent to banks.
Sometimes the mint will make a new bill with a new picture (portraits of statesman and places of interest are favoured)or a new colour. It is not easy for the government to make a new bill. It takes a long time, and there are many steps to go through before a new bill can be sent to banks, First, people in the government decide that a new kind of bill is needed. Then, they ask an artist to design the new bill.A different artist cuts the new picture into a soft piece of metal called a die.The dies are made and put onto large printing machines.Then, very special paper is used, which no one but the mint can have.Along with this special paper, the mint also prints currency using special colours.After the dies print the new currency onto the paper, the bills are cut, stacked, and sent off to the banks.
