It's hard to know how you're going to feel starting at$320 million in cash.

As part of CNET Road Trip 2014, I got a chance to visit theWestern Currency Facility, where the US Bureau of Engraving andPrinting produces the majority of America's paper money.

I wanted to see how the latest $100 bills, which have been incirculation since 2013, are made, from the engraving processthrough printing and packaging. The visit didn't disappoint,especially when I found myself standing in front of five"skids" of $100 bills totaling $320 million.There's a deep sense of longing mixed with an urge to be asnonchalant as you can in the face of such a visceral display ofriches.
