Best Answer

In 1631, hemp was used as money throughout American colonies (and in 1776, the American 'Declaration of Independence' was drafted on hemp paper).

Current US currency is made of 25 percent linen and 75 percent cotton. Threaded throughout the paper money are red and blue synthetic fibers of different length. These are used for security and as a deterrent to forgeries.
