I wonder

I wonder how money is made
While most paper used for such items as newspapers and books is primarily made of wood pulp,the currency paper made specifically for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) composed of 75% cotton and 25% linen-with the security thread and watermark built in.
What is money made of?
Coins are usually made of copper and other element,such as zinc or nickel.Currency paper is composed of 25 percent linen and 75 percent cotton.Red and blue synthetic fibres of various lengths are distributed evenly throughout the paper.Before World War 1 these fibres were made of silk.
