Is Money made out of paper or made out of cotton?

Answer 1

Most banknotes are made of heavy paper, sometimes mixed with linen, cotton, or other textile fibres. Generally, the paper used is different from ordinary paper: it is much more resilient, resists wear and tear, and also does not contain the usual agents that make ordinary paper glow slightly under ultraviolet light.

Answer 2

Its made out of linen and I think some cotton

Answer 3

25% linen paper
75% cotton

Answer 4

Money, the bills at least, is made of paper. Cotton fibers can be a component of paper, as can good old cellulose (wood pulp).

I don't know what type of paper is used in money in the U.S. I did some looking around on the "Bureau of Engraving and Printing" site (http://www.moneyfactory.gov/) and found tons of enticing information, but nothing about the fibers used in our greenbacks. (You've gotta love a government organization that titles a section of its site with a bloodthirsty name like "Shredded and Mutilated".)

It's possible this information is kept quiet to make it a little harder for counterfeiters to run off batches of "money" themselves. It's also possible I just didn't find it. 8>(
