  WHAT EXACTLY IS U.S. PAPER MONEY MADE FROM?
  

  Chick Ambrass writes: "I know that U.S. paper money is made primarily
  from linen, but I was never completely sure what linen actually is, or
  where it comes from. I was watching the History Channel's series Modern
  Marvels episode on the cotton industry and they stated that 75% of our
  paper money comes from cotton, and that most of the raw material comes
  from the scraps of the denim industry. Is there more to it than that?
  Can anyone give us a more precise definition of 'linen' in general and
  how it relates specifically to paper money?"
  

  [As more countries adopt polymer notes the days of linen may be
  numbered. But it's a good question - just what is this stuff?
