I've always found it fascinating that dollar bills are actually made from a kind of cloth, the better to endure a rough life in some schlub's pockets (or the pockets of a succession of schlubs).

I used to wish the USA would switch to an Australian style plastic currency, but in light of recent concerns about plastics in the environment, those wishes have been tempered somewhat.
