“ We shred 6 million dollars every day”
Me: Cries
If we’re crying, I don’t even want to think about Mr Crab’s reaction
They should give it to me ! Smh
It's ok the money they shred is too misprinted to be used other wise i would cry too😰
Dat Mushroom you cant see his reaction his hearts already stopped
“We shred 6 million dollars a day”
Me “ let me do you a favour and take it off your hands”
You know to save you the hassle
**sees that cash can become dirt** guess you can call that “rich soil”
Wait what owo”
Well done with that pun.
Anju Katou thanks!
oooh... thats a good pun.
Thanks uwu
I would love to open and look at every single drawer there
I'd love to draw them
This title feels so passive aggressive lmao
Are we not going to talk about the fact that the person in charge of the birds is Dr. DOVE? That’s about as ironic as it gets
And the other doctor was dr Robbins
*coincidental
Or Usain B O L T
It was meant to be
Ironic is the wrong word Emily it is coincidental
The guy heading the money stuff revived my faith in humanity.
ATM crunched my bill, 1/3 was missing, ATM guy said they couldn't find rest of bill???. Explained situation and mailed what was left of the bill to them and WOW two months later got a check for the bill. "Great People". 8^}
Also it doesn't really have anything to do with humanity, all of the dollars out there are supposed to represent the government's gold, paper money is just a representation of that gold. Being able to get that money back is important to keep the value of $1 equaling the same amount. When you think about it losing a dollar or even a hundred isn't a big deal at all to the government, but when there's $40 million like he was saying it can offset the whole economy.
Which is precisely the reason counterfeit money is illegal too:)
@@mandymccullough2907 all of that would matter if the government didn't already account for lost money lmao. This is strictly a service for the people. Also, the amount of gold the government no longer has anything to do with how much the dollar is worth; they stop doing that a while ago.
@@thugasaurusrex6004 wild I have been completely misinformed my whole life haha, a quick Google search turns out the dollar isn't backed by anything...crazy! Thanks for pointing that out, I probably would have gone much longer thinking the wrong thing.
When our alien overlords come, I hope they realize the value of the Smithsonian before they torch the planet.
By chance did you know that if there was alien links that have been found on earth, the Smithsonian is more than likely the organization that would retrieve and house the assets?
Or maybe the exact opposite ? It could be the next library of Alexandria
@@lowratehitman Maybe. But, my best friend from childhood had a grandfather who was an USAF colonel based in or stationed near Marfa, Texas. He used to come visit once a year. He showed us some freaky shit when he was drunk. Remnants of "alien spacecraft." I think the military has that mess on lockdown.
Something else that is interesting is the Smithsonian used to be the 1st on the scene to collect Giant bones when they have been discovered in North America, as well, they tens to be the 1st into newly discovered "Indian mounds"
@@jamesdooling4139 sounds like he's just an idiot lol.
You'd think they'd just use freshly printed money to replace destroyed money to keep the same amount in circulation instead of using tax dollars to pay for it.
*Money dont grow on tree , but tree grow on money* woah

Not to undermine what the butterfly guy does, but I wish could be as content with life as he is when studying butterflies.
How would your desire for happiness, undermine his life's work? I'm afraid that I don't understand.
WAIT, THE COW IS A CANNIBAL! HE ATE THE FARMERS LEATHER WALLET😰
......you mean...cannibal?????
I wonder if the food grinders ever take some salami or avocados home
Some do in a drink
The goal is to inhibit the spread of invasive species, so hopefully not. But I bet some do.
I wish, so many beautiful GIANT avocados and mangoes
Bakugo
I know same! Also if it’s already packaged I don’t see how it hurts? Salami should be ok no?
i love great big story , the videos are so well made and informative
The cow probably just wanted his leather back
It’s so crazy to see something that people would kill over just be shredded like nothing.
The food that dies is so sad, there are peoplle starving, and theres so much water wasted too
Are there inks and chemicals in the shredded money? If so does, that leach into the soil and impact the produce?
That is my concern, too. Since it talks about urban farming, maybe they are primarily used for flower beds.
The birds one is pretty nice I don’t mind my parents paying for that
Wolf that goes to the state
Imagine that the human was replaced with animals and hey animals were looking at our dead bodies stuck to a pike
I have one question for the man who sent the government a cow stomach, did he kill the cow for a wallet?
You need to ask that person but I think he killed the cow for 2 purposes: 1. Get the wallet back
2. Eat cow meat
@traversing cloud A cow has a single stomach with 4 rooms. Every room has a prupose. I had to say this so I won't forget soon. Srry for that.
@traversing cloud lol.
Yeah i remember that money shredding in new orleans from Mafia 3 even though they renovated it pretty nice.
That’s what I call *RICH* soil!
Ok I’ll show myself out
Dog ate my bills? Some excuses never change.

kirk attacc
but most importantly
KIRK STUDY THE FREAKING DEAD BUTTERFLIES
The butterfly guy is soo sweet
loved every minute of this video! i've been englightened!
imagine robbing the last place only to realize all the bills cant even be used
Is no one gonna talk about how the farmer just sent in the poor cow’s whole stomach?!!
The airport one is mind boggling. To be truthful they should be donating all of that food to some sort of organization to feed Families and The HOMELESS. Shit, I'll take a bruised avocado, over a ham and cheese sandwich Every Day!
@traversing cloud no, i have never heard. But now I can say I read it today. I appreciate you T.C.
*For my future generation* , I ask, "How many of what you've collected have already gone extinct ... and how many more are to come based on current circumstances?"
why does the head of the fed bank look like an older version of dwight schrute?
She said they are looking at birds to help aviation safety. Yet i was under the impression that 90%+ of problematic collisions with air planes are caused by Canadian geese. As they fly high enough to be in line with air planes and are big enough to cause serious damage to the engines.
So one job enables the growth of food, and another destroys it. It's all a circle of life.
Incorrect, one promotes food growth, and the other one keeps it from being destroyed.
*8:09** When you buy some DLC on an EA game*
Lol 😂
You see in Canada we can’t recycle or shred bills
Wow I didn't know the second one was even a job, that's awesome!!
Wow the money shredded soil is badass!!
Dude, it looks like character summaries for a game.
Wow I love this video 🦅
Division of birds
Me: so you keep birds in cages
Opens drawers of dead birds
Me: so you basically work at a bird morgue that's in a museum 🤨
4:01
*that face*
Can I go grab the shredded money and have the money recovery people reimburse me for its value? I am about to dig up the million dollar farm :D
Wolf hahahahahaha
Wow! That thought did not occur to me.
wait all jokes aside like woahhhh
I'm so happy that Dr. Carla Dove is curator of birds
Bruh all that money they say unfit for use ill take donations
They shredded milllllllliiiiiiiooooonnnnnssss?!
I'm convinced they find people who are successful believes in high school to be customs agents
2:26 Am I the only one who heard " Floyd Chocolate"? Yes, just me, ok....then....
2:26
@@nascentspace My keyboard doesn't like me. This is sad
"What you're looking at right now is 24 million dollars but the soil that it creates will be priceless."
9:13
Narwhals are cool! Like imagine having a sword attached to your face at all times
The food grinding isn't cool to me. It just feels super wasteful
Those are really interesting, never even knew they existed. Really glad to learn something new, but the coolest one was the soil one
Wonderful video
Me the whole time: Fly high little cow 🕊⬆🐄
I feel like it's kind of a waste of food
How do they identify bills in ash like it’s all burned disintegrated and black
I think it might be that little gold strip that vending machines use to identify bills
Certain chemicals can be put on burnt documents to reveal the ink patterns
Why is the salami getting thrown out? That's not a danger to our habitats or our nature.
Pork and beef can contain bacteria that is hard to trace and can be highly devastating to north america's meat stocks.
When you buy something in the grocery store, it has gone through inspections and been labeled safe for import. If you buy something in its country of origin they don't do those inspections and the bacteria/diseases may be common in that place.
“We shred 6 million dollars a day”
Me “ let me do you a favour and take it off your hands”
You know to save you the hassle
Ah, so money doesn't grow on trees, but trees do grow on money. 🤔
*bird box is shaking*
i love this youtube channel
I wish you’d leave the old $1 bills alone because I work with money and new $1 bills stick together and are very hard to work with. It’s a great way to slow down a line and a great way to accidentally give the wrong change.
That banker must sneak a 100 every once I a while, right?
Does the insect one eat em or do they just look like a snack
I like the fruit job at the airport,plzzz lady hire me too
These dead animals is like a wet dream for PETA
I'm happy that my tax is going to that uhh... thing.
Same, I was also happy with my money going to Special Olympics, but guess that didnt matter :(
Girl: I like birds and collect them!
Guy: That's cool! Can I see one of your cute birds?
Girl: Sure, follow me *opens up a draw with like 10 dead birds*
Guy: What the fuck.
What if the soil manufacturer was sending some of the shredded money to the place the reimburse damaged money.
Damn that's a lot of avocados.
Waww this is amazing 🔥
Only rich farmer used money compost
These names and people are just... mollusks are over seen by someone named Strong ?! Birds - Dove?! The dude that looks after the tiny bugs is huge... and the rock dude, he probably listens to heavy metal
Wow I like that job
6:20 waste lots of food
Zaenab Alwi well if it has insects and other problems you don’t wanna be eating that
Damn the Smithsonian must be huge
Me:grabs some dirt
Pays for chips with dirt
Also me: yah I'll be needing mah change
All that money shredded burned all destroyed noooooooooo i could've used that
Is there a human collection in drawer too?
Ace Zach yes, it’s called a morgue.
WOW
Wait beef candy whhhatt
Did that TSA agent say that the foods they confiscate are a danger to their plants etc..
And then proceeded to show candy, serrano ham and salami?
I.. uh... what?
Salami and Serrano ham is classified as a meat and so is the candy in this case. Meat, especially from other more underdeveloped countries with different climates, can be contaminated or spoiled in some way or come with new bacteria. It could also be accidentally discarded in the wrong manner, like outside, and that is where plants grow. If a particular plant is exposed to a particular virus the whole type of fruit or vegetable or even cattle can die off. Like the banana did back in the 1900s.
@@leonjenny9 Did you just call Spain underdeveloped? Oh boy. Where do you think all the rest of the Serrano Ham comes from in the US?
SonicDeluxx no, nowhere did I make any connection nor even a sentence saying Spain is under developed. All I’m doing is explaining to people as to why there is a danger to bringing anything that doesn’t belong in our agriculture to our agriculture and as to why foods get confiscated.
SonicDeluxx and that ham is imported with a temperature controlled environment during transportation and an FDA that regulates and checks the ham consistently, which ensures that no bacteria, virus, or unwanted pesticide hurts our agriculture or humans
She was a customs agent, not TSA.
So I pay tax to keep a house filled with objects 🤦♂️
Most of the "dirty" notes look fine
Since Puerto Rico and some of the islands are on the poor side, they should put all the food in a bag and then let the citizens grab want ever they want. Otherwise it’s jump going to sit and die. That’s a huge waste of food. Especially being near by hungry people.
what about police work or like being the president?
How much money did that farmer have in his wallet?! Enough to justify killing the unfortunate cow, I guess. The farmer was an idiot to take that much money out into a pasture. And poor Bessie payed the price for his complete lack of judgment.
I get that there can be bugs in fruit you bring back but why take anything else like the meat from Spain
C Brock meat has diseases p
Who said my country uses dollars?!
The third story is just food waste and it makes me angry
I can’t relate to this video...
I commit tax evasion
7:26 so y’all are getting paid from our tax dollars to play fruit ninja 😂
Can somebody explain how salami is harmful to america's agriculture?? 🤨
yo the butterfly and birds one i imagine it comming alive and flying all over the place wowowo
"Jesus Marie, they're minerals!" - Dr Jeff Post
What a waste of food
Why not use the money shreds to make more money
Her. Name. Is. Dove. And. She. Study’s. Birds.
Why do they kill animals?

10:20 those are all cash crops hahahah okay I will see my way out
