US currency has a high rag content. It's not just paper.
That makes is very useful, after it has been softened for outhouse paper. Better than glossy magazines.
Gotta be practical.

Yep. Just got to try to buy useful/valuable things before paper money is only good for the outhouse. I saw this coming probably 10 years ago.
I save big phone books - the pages aren't glossy. My engineer relative was helping me get rid of old stuff and he opened a cabinet under a bathroom sink and saw stacks of phone books. He said, “We can throw these away.” I said, “Toilet paper.” He rolled his eyes and shut the cabinet.
He is a freaking liberal and thinks the only danger we face is GLOBAL WARMING. He thinks I am crazy as a loon for prepping.
