Remembering AYCJ: Day 9

The ninth day of the AYCJ journey last year was spent in Denver, Colorado. I was always fascinated with how money was made and used to play with Monopoly money as a kid, creating games that revolved around money. So it was pretty cool to visit the US mint where they create currency. I will never forget seeing all those shiny pennies everywhere I looked. It shows just how much is taken out of circulation (both by damage and different forms of collecting) and that needs to be replenished.

I visited the Colorado State Capitol, the fifth of fifteen capitols I visited during the month.

Denver is a pretty convenient place to get around. Using the free downtown shuttle, I had the opportunity to hop on and off as much I as I pleased.

After a day spent in Denver, I was back on JetBlue to JFK.
