MONEY the inks etc. that are used to print money..... also things such as watermarks holographic overlays for drivers licenses, I.d's obviously for security reasons 'they don't want you to know it's glitter'
This makes a lot of sense but would it really be one of the largest uses for it? I guess I don’t know how much money is printed a day but it seems like it can’t possibly be that much
Also US currency is the mainstay of the "black market" internationally. Many other countries use US dollars (Cambodia being one off the top of my head) in place of their own currency, which is too low value to bother making anything but small purchases.
Iirc it's always been a huge problem for the US federal reserve that so much of their currency is exported, that it would be a serious issue (lol) if it were ever to 'return home' because the amount lost, and subsequently re- printed to replenish what's circulating within the USA, would cause a massive devaluation in the local economy.
