Money (in the US anyway) is made of cotton and linen, not paper.

Yes...and the OP is saying that it should be made out of something different...

It's made out of cotton and linen for a reason.

I'm not saying it SHOULD be made out of paper. But clearly the OP was saying money should be made out of something different.

It's made out of a specific mixture of cotton and linen that is only sold to the US government so people won't counterfeit it. Making it out of paper would cause too many problems.

Not to mention that cotton and linen holds up better than paper.

All US bills are recycled at the end of their life cycle.

Or better yet, the government could save a lot of money by using coins for dollar instead of "paper" money because the coins last longer.

They're trying. It may not be long before they get rid of the $1 bill.
