The paper that the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing uses to produce currency is distinctive. A paper manufacturer produces it according to Bureau specifications. It is composed of 75% cotton and 25% linen. The paper also contains red and blue fibers of various lengths that are evenly distributed throughout. http://www.ustreas.gov/opc/opc0034.html#faq-0017
