So it turns out, money
indeed doesn't grow on trees....it grows in farms.The paper money we
use on a everyday basis is a unique blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen.
There is also a special polymer security thread in the notes that can
only be seen in light and as the name suggests, it is embedded in the
notes for security reasons.
This fiber can not be copied or duplicated.Even the inks used to print money are different since they can't have the notes smug out on the initial contact with moisture and water. Paper notes are made in such a way as to ensure maximum durability.The design process is diffrent for each country obviously and the manufacturing process involves quite a few steps as well. It goes through a lot before it is even distributed, so making them with cotton fibers makes complete sense.
The future is anyway heading towards electronic money....so hopefully issues with durability of paper money can altogether be avoided.
