"In 2010, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the United States printed 26 million notes… every day! They have two facilities where the notes are printed: Washington, DC and Fort Worth, TX and the average cost to produce a banknote ranges from 3-12 cents, with an average of 9.6 cents per note.
US paper currency is designed with numerous anti-counterfeiting security features (both covert and overt), such as watermarks, micro-printing, security threads that glow under UV light, serial numbers, federal reserve markers and low vision numerals. The Security Features Development Group within the Bureau works very closely with the Secret Service and Federal Reserve Bank to design anti-counterfeiting features."
The exact amount of ink used each day to print US currency is not publicly disclosed for security reasons. However, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing has stated that it takes approximately 2,500 inked sheets to produce a typical print run of US currency, and each sheet can print around 32 notes.

Ripley says it's 10 million tons but I don't believe it.
All newspapers that print with offset presses use soy-based ink. You can't get petroleum-based ink anymore - not just because petroleum-based ink is very nasty stuff, but because soy-based ink is easier to use and looks better on the sheet. Newspapers that print with flexo presses use water-based ink.
