U.S. Dollar Bills

Are Not Made out of Paper

United States paper currency, commonly referred to as Federal Reserve Notes, is primarily made from a blend of cotton and linen fibers.


The paper used for U.S. currency is made from 75% cotton and 25% linen fibers. This combination gives the currency its distinctive feel, durability, and resistance to wear and tear compared to regular paper.
