There are many secret ingredients and security features added into banknotes but the general knowledge is that currency paper is composed of 25% linen and 75% cotton. Red and blue synthetic fibers of various lengths are distributed evenly throughout the paper. Prior to World War I the fibers were made of silk.

They do have some of that in their composition which was a key to early efforts to defeat counterfeiters. Now they have of course added the other features to try and keep the bad money to a minimum. The detail and resolution of modern photocopiers, etc. makes this a never ending job for the secret service though.

Actually not paper. It is a blend of cotton and linen fibers. I think it is a 50/50 blend.
