The color of money, specifically U.S. paper currency, is green.
Why is Money Green?
According to information from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, when paper notes were introduced in 1929, green ink was chosen for several key reasons:
- Resistance to Change: Green ink was relatively resistant to chemical and physical changes compared to other colors available at the time. This ensured the longevity and durability of the currency.
This choice helped to standardize U.S. currency and provided a readily recognizable color for the general public.
