Well, PAPER money is made with wood pulp. This would result in "monopoly money", however, and would get destroyed when wet.

REAL money (Currency, like the American dollar bill for instance) is made with a blend of Cotton and Linen (25% and 75% respectively) with special security fibers also added.
