Grand Central Station no longer accomodates trains, but does have restaurants and shopping. US dollars are 25% linen and 75% cotton.
The answere is C. My brain

A) What year? U.S. currency paper is manufactured from cotton and linen. It currently has no wood fibers in it. The exact mix of cotton and linen is currently reported as 75 percent cotton and 25 percent linen by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
B) The current structure is called Grand Central Terminal, not Grand Central Station. The name was changed about 1930. It was always at the end of the line, so no trains ever traveled through it.
To answer your question: the U.S. Treasury Department and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing do issue and use graphite pencils which are manufactured with wood, so I would have to say that A) is the correct answer.

That was a good movie. According to the Script of "Inside Man" (for those of you who haven't seen it, a bank robber asks this riddle to the detectives outside) They both weigh the same. No wood in Money, No trains through GCS.
Not an intuitive answer, I know, but all those facts were already rattled off by previous answers ;)

No tree.
The dollar bills are still printed on cotton and linen rag paper, with the traditional red and blue fibers. This unique paper has a strong, pliable and familiar feel.

No train.
Grand Central Terminal (GCT, often still called Grand Central Station) is a terminal rail station at 15 Vanderbilt Avenue (42nd Street and Park Avenue) in Midtown Manhattan in New York City.

Trees aren't used in making money and no trains travel through Grand Central.

Isn't this from "Sixteen Blocks" or "The Inside Man" or one of those action films that came out last year? They both weigh the same. Nothing.

What weighs more is the number of trains carrying cut down trees in .US.

Some of you take this question to seriously. I mean read what he included in his question "Hint: It's a trick question." He obviously knows so you dont need to write a book in the answer. jesus

trees and money...
because we spend more than we travel.
to think practically...
a. every money that has a defect or torn-out will be burned or recyled [i think and i saw it on t.v. ]
b. the trains have always checked and maintained thats why they last long and you dont have to buy every year.
i agree that letter a is the answer.
