Did You Know That Money Was Once Printed in Fort Collins

Usually, when it comes to coins and cash in Colorado, you think about the Denver Mint. However, back in the day money also used to be printed in Fort Collins.

While I was browsing around on eBay, I came across a $5 bill that was printed by the Fort Collins National Bank in 1902.
