When you ask the question What Material are Currency Bills Made Of? I am going to assume you are talking about USA Currency bills. Most bills around the world are made of very similar materials so this applies to most paper money.

Taking the $1 USA Bill… Which accounts for 42% of all US paper bills made every year.

It feels much stronger and hardy than standard paper and that’s because of the way the specific money paper is made. It’s made from a wood pulp containing the Crane brand of paper. It also includes threads of cloth from cotton, linen and silk. The mixture of paper and cloth is often referred to as Rag. You may also notice that blue and red fibers are integrated into the mix to give the paper texture and variety that helps to make it extremely difficult to counterfeit. Also the printing process uses very special inks and counterfeit devices and notes are screened for mistakes…. The rare note that does have a mistake and is genuine can become extremely valuable.

I hope that answers your question, What Material are Currency Bills Made Of?

I would love to hear your comments and any further questions.
