Note that the manufacturer of the paper used in US currency (and many others around the world), Crane, is located in the Berkshires. Hence part of the reason why the currency looks so good.

I grew up in the Berkshires and worked at Crane (making paper for the currency of several countries).

Strangely, I've never heard of BerkShares.

Grew up in Pittsfield. Went to South Berkshire schools. Also never heard of them.

But I still have a Berkshire Bank card in my wallet!
