U.S. paper money is made from a blend of cotton and which other material?
Wood pulp
Linen
Nylon
Rayon
Fact: Paper money isn’t actually paper at all. At 75% cotton and 25% linen, it’s essentially fabric, making it much more durable than actual paper would be. This is what gives United States currency its distinct look and feel. For denominations of $5 and above, security threads, and watermarks are already built into the paper when it is received. For the $100 note, a 6mm wide 3-D holographic blue security ribbon is woven into the paper. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing claims it would take 4,000 double folds (forwards and backwards) before a note will tear.
Correct Answer: Linen
