United States currency paper is composed of 75% cotton and 25% linen.
Koreans came out with the super bills back in the 90's

they were very good an i was stuck with more than one or 2

Iran was making superb ones too on the same printing presses the US used (they sold 'em to the Shah). 60 Minutes did a special on both of them. They took the 'super bills' to bank counterfeit experts and 3/5 couldn't tell real from fake.

I'm surprised the US hadn't moved to polymer notes like Australia's yet - almost impossible to counterfeit.

Aren't the new US$100's the same as Oz notes?

No, Aussie notes are far more plastic.

Best thing about Australian money is it will survive in the wash

Us bills survive the wash as they are "rag" not pure paper. Yes, America should follow the Oz lead and go to plastic. It was pointed out to me by my neighbor who is from Oz, that an Oz resident invented the plastic money.

Sorry but plastic bills feel awful. You can't count them without wondering if two are stuck together. In fact, this happened to me several times during my recent visit back home in Canada. You have to be careful.

Also, they have already been counterfeited in Canada. http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/police-war ... -1.1284115

But plastic notes are said to have slashed counterfeits.

Apparently (as in, I heard this but don't have a citation) Oz is now advising other countries on switching to polymer notes.

Of course they are because then they'll tender for the contract to mint the currency as they do for a number of nations.

And what's wrong with that? The days of riding on the sheep's back are over. Australia is now a big exporter of technology.
