Description:	The complex of three mills around Dalton, Massachusetts, which comprise the Crane Paper Company constitute the sole source of paper for U.S. currency. Crane has been making durable paper out of cotton fiber at this location for almost 200 years, and has been the only supplier to the U.S. Treasury Department since 1879. Security is high at portions of the plant, as new anti-forgery technologies are worked out here, and old bills are brought in by the truckload to be recycled.
