WATCH: See How US Currency is Made

Ever wonder how money was made?

According to the United States Currency website , “Before a Federal Reserve note enters circulation, it must pass through four critical steps: design, order, production, and issuance.”

The Donald showed up to Sneakercon in Philly this weekend to promote his new kicks and was met with a mix of jeers and cheers from the crowd. Mostly boos.

Trump, never one to let him see em sweat and always one to spin bad press, thanked the crowd for having “a lot of emotion” for him.

The “Never Surrender” sneaker retailed for 399 US dollars and is said to have sold out in minutes of their debut. Apparently the gold lame high tops outlined with the American flag logo and a large T were a limited edition with only 50 pair being made available for sale.
