[42]

[52]
here for several months Chum see like
[55]

[60]
boys I have plates and rollers from the
[66]
American bank note company I've
[67]
collected coins and currencies my whole
[69]
life as long as I can remember and then
[71]
the printing talked to me a lot cuz my
[73]
entire family has been in the printing
[74]
business for three generations so I was
[76]
just interesting to me from a lot of
[77]
different perspectives this is pretty
[81]
amazing the American bank note company
[83]
was found in 1795 by Robert Scott who
[86]
was original engraver for the United
[89]
States Mint they have engraved and
[91]
printed stocks bonds currencies oh yeah
[94]
they were printing currency for tons of
[96]
different countries just about every
[98]
bond certificate in the United States
[100]
was printed by them they had the
[102]
printing technology where it was really
[103]
really difficult to counterfeit their
[105]
stuff right and they're just out of
[107]
business now and you just know they're
[109]
they still in business business today
[110]
currencies are a lot different now in
[112]
stocks and bonds are traded digitally so
[115]
they just like sold off all their old
[116]
metal plates yes I did and here are you
[119]
looking at it there's a ton of people
[121]

[124]
collectors who would buy it bond
[125]
collectors that would buy it and if you
[127]
have anything specific to like certain
[128]
companies that could be collectible so

[179]
oh yeah let's check it out well step on
[181]
over our printing press so first we're
[184]
gonna work the ink it's actually a very
[186]
specialized ink it's a very dense very
[188]
heavy what our first step to do here is
[191]
actually to get the ink into those small
[193]
crevices in the plate okay and while
[196]
this is happening our paper is actually
[198]
in the process of getting softened in a
[200]
bucket of water Wow so we're inked up no
[204]
Mike my master printer is gonna take the
[207]
next step here to get the ink off the
[210]
surface and then leave the ink in those
[212]
reservoirs so now you can see the train
[215]
just leave it like that
[217]
