What material is used to make paper money, Euros for example?
Yeah, I don't really understand that as a criticism...
From what I understand from DrunkFace's post is that foreign paper money is made from superior material while US paper money is still made from cotton.

The paper used for euro banknotes is 100% pure cotton fibre, which improves their durability as well as imparting a distinctive feel.
Hmmm...I still don't get his criticism...

It's denim really. We make our currency out of cotton because it's durable and we grow a lot of it. Countries generally make their currency out of the best naturally grown materials in their own home territories. I'll take our cotton currency over straight paper any day.

Pretty much, but it seems the Euros are just as slow as the Americans in this case. I had expected more.

polymer biaxially-oriented polypropylene is the superior material, far more durable and far harder to counterfeit.

Also, they've tried to get $1 coins to take off several times, but people hate them.  They are too similar to quarters.
make them slightly larger and a different colour (like ours)

if people can't tell the difference then....well they shouldn't be allowed to have more than a quarter anyway
