The American dollar bill is made up of parts gathered from all over the earth. Much of the paper fiber is linen rag from the Orient. The silk comes from Italy and China. The blue ink is made from German or Canadian cobalt. The black ink Is made from Niagara Falls acetylene gas smoke, and most of the green Ink has green color mixed in white zinc sulphite made in Germany. When the treasury seal is printed in red the color comes from Central America.
