The federal government says it has value
Silver could theoretically replace US paper currency as a form of money, as it has intrinsic value and a long history of use in trade. However, practical challenges such as the need for standardization, ease of transaction, and the current reliance on digital and fiat currencies make it unlikely. Additionally, the supply of silver is limited compared to the vast amount of paper currency in circulation, complicating its feasibility as a substitute. Overall, while silver can serve as a store of value, it is not a practical replacement for modern currency systems.

US currency is not made out of paper its made out of a cotton fiber base. Currency paper has a unique feel and is extremely durable. Is it really 'paper' in the traditional sense? There are no wood fibers or starch in currency paper. Instead, like high quality stationery, currency paper is composed of a special blend of cotton and linen fibers. The strength comes from raw materials continuously refined until the special feel of the currency is achieved. People who handle money on a regular basis, such as bank tellers, can easily determine if a bill is counterfeit by this distinctive feel. The characteristic yellowish-green tint of US currency is another distinctive feature which is, in fact, hard for color photocopiers to accurately match.
Its foreign exchange value is about 7 US cents (if it is still actually exchangable). Its value as a collectors piece would depend largely on its condition.
The 1000-gnnet bill is not a recognized currency in the United States. It seems to refer to a specific denomination of currency from a different country, possibly a fictional or obsolete currency. To determine its value in US dollars, you would need to know the current exchange rate for that currency against the US dollar. If you provide more context about the currency, I can offer a more precise answer.
Because we don't use fractional paper currency such as a paper 50 cent note.
Because people ascribe value to it and it is backed by the federal government. In and of itself it is virtually worthless.

there are no women pictured on any value of US paper currency. only men.
U.S. paper currency has value primarily because it is backed by the trust and authority of the U.S. government, which issues it as legal tender for all debts. This trust is reinforced by the stability of the U.S. economy and its regulatory framework. Additionally, the demand for U.S. dollars in domestic and international transactions further supports its value. Ultimately, it is a combination of government backing, economic stability, and widespread acceptance that gives U.S. paper currency its value.
The 25 cent paper bill you refered to is called "fractional currency". The US Government did not issue fractional currency until 1862.

No, state names are not printed on U.S. paper currency.
There's nothing called a "currency dollar". In 1862 the US printed paper $1 notes and struck $1 coins in both silver and gold.

U.S. paper currency isn't made of paper- it's actually a blend of cotton and linen.
FDR is on a coin, not currency (= paper money) - the dime.
