Best Answer

American currency became green in 1929. Before that time it was printed black with tinted flecks of color. This was a fact known to counterfeiters who raised the printing without disturbing the ink. Tracy Edson purchased a groundbreaking ink that would not photocopy, and resistant to elemental changes.and it was green. The Department of Treasury simply continued the practice
