The United States Federal Reserve has announced the durability of the material used to print its currency.
According to the United States Federal Reserve (FED) the quality of the banknotes issued by its associated banks is carefully analyzed by a processing team. Under strict quality criteria, when they receive copies already issued they decide whether they should be taken out of circulation and replaced or still have a shelf life.
The composition of the paper money used by the United States to produce banknotes is 25% linen and 75% cotton. However, the nominal value of the bills will also determine the useful life of each one. The higher value bills will last longer than the lower value bills.
