The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is an interesting place to visit, and the guided tour is very informative about a variety of topics. The tour guide was very friendly to the entire class, and was able to answer any questions we had. The tour was interactive enough, and I was able to gain a better understanding of the Federal Reserve's job and impact on the economy of the country. I was not aware before that the Federal Reserve was in charge of the seperation and destruction of old and unusable bills. The vault, however, was very underwelming, at least when compared to the rest of the tour. Though it was an interesting experience to be in the same room with and see so much real gold, there was so little time spent talking about the why and how of the gold that I left feeling a little dissapointed. To summarize, the Federal Reserve is a great trip for schools and for anyone interested in the economy, but i would have liked to know more about the gold itself. The tour guide didn't spend any time explaining why we use gold to store wealth instead of some other form of currency, or how the bars are made. It would have been interesting to learn more about that instead of simply spending a few minutes explaining how heavy gold is and how they weigh it. It also would have been nice if the tour guide had spent a little more time talking about the gothic architecture. She did explain that some of the archways were meant to symbolize strength, but I feel there could have been more time spent on the designs and why they were important. TL;DR The Federal Reserve is a very informative trip that teaches about the history of our economy, and could be a great trip for anyone interested in economics.

I had a good experience at the federal reserve that included a learning experience as well as good hospitality. The tour guide was really nice and knew the answer to every question that someone asked her. It was fun to learn about the federal reserve, but to be honest there wasn't much to do after we went down to the gold storage. On the tour they should have more then just quotes on a tv screen. For example they could show a documentary on how the federal reserve was made and the process of what the federal reserve does. This would make the experience better instead of standing around looking at a poster with little pictures. Other then that it was a cool building to be in with the great architecture throughout the building. Some things I learned on the trip were that the Federal Reserve holds a quarter of the worlds gold. I found that interesting that countries would trust us with all that gold. I believe we should charge countries to hold their gold because we are doing them a service with little in return except for the title of having the biggest gold storage in the world. I also learned about money and the process it goes through. For example I didn't know the government shredded money to circulate in new money. This made me realize why old money is such a good collectors item because a lot of the old money gets replaced by the new ones. It was also cool how we learned about the stamps that each dollar has that shows where the bill came from. This isn't very important, but I found it very interesting. TBL: The Federal Reserve is a great place to visit for an educational experience and I recommend other schools to go here on a field trip.

Cách phố Wall ở thành phố New York (Mỹ) không xa là kho vàng lớn nhất thế giới được đặt dưới lòng đất ở độ sâu gần 25 m với trữ lượng hơn 6.000 tấn, có tổng giá trị hàng trăm tỷ USD. Nơi này được truyền thông thế giới mô tả như một "pháo đài", nằm tại số 33 đường Liberty trong khu tài chính, là một trong số 12 ngân hàng dự trữ liên bang của Mỹ. Theo số liệu năm 2019, kho vàng 3 tầng chứa 497.000 thỏi vàng với tổng trọng lượng khoảng 6.190 tấn. Căn hầm này có thể chịu được trọng lượng nặng như vậy bởi nó nằm trên nền đá của Manhattan, thấp hơn 24,2 m so với mặt đường và 15 m so với mực nước biển. Điểm thú vị ở chỗ, số vàng này không hoàn toàn thuộc về chính phủ Mỹ. Đây còn là tài sản của 36 chính phủ nước ngoài, ngân hàng trung ương quốc gia khác và các tổ chức quốc tế chính thức. Không cá nhân hoặc tổ chức tư nhân nào được phép cất giữ vàng tại kho.

Great educational experience. We were allowed to touch the gold bars with our pinky. We could not meet the commissioners during our visit. They were busy snoozing with the bankers that they are supposed to regulate. The place gets empty way before 5pm! Ah, the pleasures of working (if you can use this term) for the federal government!!
