Does money come from trees? I actually thought it did. Here is my reason why I thought it came from trees. Money is made from paper which is recycled from trees. I did some research and it said as follows: Paper Bills: Does Money Grow on Trees?
You know the old saying about money growing on trees? Many people believe it does, because paper is made from trees. But, did you know that paper money is not really paper at all? It is actually 75% cotton and 25% linen, the same materials that make up your clothes. http://efinancedirectory.com/articles/Does_Money_Grow_on_Trees%3F%3A__A_Kid's_Lesson_in_How_Money_is_Really_Made!.htmlHow does cotton grow
This small bush is grown from a seed and matures in around 100 days. It needs a temperature of 680 to germinate and because of this grows best in warm climate with proper irrigation. The leaves of this plant are very much like that of the oak tree. http://www.flowersplants.net/Gardening/How-does-cotton-grow93_AR.aspx

Wow Cecil awesome blog! I learned so much about money I never knew they could grow on trees. Maybe next time you could blog about coins instead of paper bills. Do you have a money tree?
ReplyDeleteHey cecil I thought that money was paper to until i got a c on a paper because i said that money was paper but i didnt know it was cotton. Great blog.
ReplyDeletehaha your right! money does grow on trees because its paper! every time i would ask my parents for something they would always say do u think money grows on trees? well i would say yes because its paper but im not going to take any risk for saying that so i would just say no.
ReplyDeletei really like your blog. its very interesting.
Wow Cecil what an exelent blog post. It really got me thinking on paper moeny. You really gave alot of very detailed infomation on paper moeny. Can't wait until your next blog post.
ReplyDeleteWow Cecil! I really like your blog! I also agree that money comes from trees; and it does come from trees. But the bad thing about money, it kills more trees today. Do you agree with me?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know money was acually made of cotton and linen instead of paper. Did you know that only the governnment can order the "paper" for money? I guess thats why money is so hard to fake. The easiest way to tell if a dollar bill is fake is by the feel of it. Money also has other security features such as the black band on the side of the dollar if you hold it in light. I find that kind of cool.
