what kind of paper is money made of?
370911
Most banknotes are made of heavy paper, sometimes mixed with linen, cotton, or other textile fibres. Generally, the paper used is different from ordinary paper: it is much more resilient, resists wear and tear, and also does not contain the usual agents that make ordinary paper glow slightly under ultraviolet light.

At this point you do not need an answer.  What you need is a more specific question.  You might want to look closely at whatever it is that you have for things such as denomination, date, signatures (if currency), mintmarks (if coinage), size ( if it is currency), design and other things like that.  Then someone, maybe even me, will be able to advise you properly whether you can get a book with values in it (which will mean that you understand how to place a grade or state of preservation number on each piece of old money).  The main thing is to never, never, never ever clean it.  Cleaning old money destroys the collector value and interest.  Good Luck, Vox

Paper as in newspapers or simply white papers?

Why is there a thing like money?  What would you do instead to distribute goods and services?  A long time ago, people used to use barter a lot: trade one good or service for another.  But it is impractical to carry around what you produce in order to trade it with what they produce.  And what if A wants what B has, but B wants what C has, and does not need what A has?  So money came into existence to represent wealth, as a medium of exchange.  At first, it was made of precious metals that had a value relatively well known: an ounce of gold or silver had a pretty standard value in the community.  Now it is made out of paper, and no longer paper which can be exchanged for gold or silver.  We use it because we trust the next person will accept it, just like we did.\n\nActually, nowadays we more often use accounting records, created by computers, instead of the actual money.  So we are even deeper into symbolic wealth, rather than tangible wealth, like gold or silver or a barrel of pickles.

obviously with the advancing technology systems used to activate any and almost ALL transactions today, paper money will be non-existent very soon!  i mean, how many people do you know that actually write out and use a paper check from their checkbook to make a purchase nowadays?    besides, communism is a necessary step to the demise of our humanity and society!

As one of my finance professors so clearly stated it... "In God We Trust".  It is on every piece of paper and coin in the US.  There is no backing or "gold standard" of the almighty dollar anymore.  It is really just a highly accepted form of trade for a common tool for bartering.

In 1933 the gold standard for money ceased.  Paper money was represented by silver for a little time after that. I vaguely remember my parents searching for silver certificates - dollars backed by silver - because the newspaper had a reward for them.  I don't know why some still think we're still on a gold standard.

It was written on parchment, which is not paper, but animal skin.\n\n\nPS: It may have been _drafted_ on hemp, but the actual document is made of parchment, as is the Declaration of Independence.

American money doesn't become outdated but it does become worn and then it is destroyed and new money is printed to replace it.It doesn't matter how old it is.As long as it is in good shape it will stay in circulation.

That's a regionalism that happens in Spain. Dinero is the standard word for money, but hard cash usually has a different term according to country: in different places you could say cambio, sencillo, monedas, suelto, and metalica.

True but only partially.  American bills are a composition of both cloth fibers and paper. This not only helps them to last longer but also deters against counterfieting. If you look closely at a bill you can see the little fibers that sometimes even have their own color.

fold it into an envelope and then get £100 note to stick in it!!  (British money is in "Pounds" Sterling.)

America fought almost entire world war 2 with paper money.And today on an average every American spent already the entire money of next budget with credit cards.And America`s deficit budget makes it necessary to break records in printing currency.The joke is that the money you do not have is not of much value due to inflation.Relax.

The object, MONEY, by itself is just a useless piece of paper.. however, it is the idea of MONEY for use in trading that's important as it places a monetary VALUE to a useless piece of paper.. \n\nSo..if you remove the intangible idea of VALUE in a piece of paper..i guess it makes it unimportant.  :P \n\nUnfortunately, in this 'civilised' world, without those 'useless pieces of paper', we're not able to buy (trade) anything ...  :)
