I can't believe I never realised this before- in America, money does grow on trees!

...
Tell me where now and no one gets hurt.

Misko, we must burn this place before the corporations find it.

[Yoink]

...You guys do have paper money, right?

He knows too much.






Nahh, really special paper. I;m not even sure it comes from trees. We have pens that don't show up on real ones and everything.

[Furtuka]

I'll get the torture plunger.

Technically "paper" money is a cloth, at least in the US. I'm unsure what exact fibers they use for it.

[Frumple]

Perhaps more importantly, tree farms are a thing. Trees = money. The stuff on the trees can be turned into money, so presumably by the A = B B = C A = C thing, things growing on trees is money and money grows on trees. Makes perfect sense!

_{P.S. Logic can bite my pale hairy arse.}

I'm guessing they keep as much of it a secret as possible, to help prevent counterfeits.

The paper and ink used in the production of U.S. paper currency is as distinct as its design.  The paper comes to the BEP in brown paper-wrapped loads of 20,000 sheets (2 pallets of 10,000 sheets).  Each of these sheets is tracked by the BEP as it passes through the production process.   And, the total inventory of 20,000 sheets is continually reconciled to make sure each sheet is accounted for.  Currency paper is specifically made for the BEP by Crane Paper Company.  The ordinary paper that consumers use throughout their everyday life such as newspapers, books, cereal boxes, etc, is primarily made of wood pulp; however, United States currency paper is composed of 75% cotton and 25% linen.  This is what gives United States currency its distinct look and feel.  For denominations of $5 and above, the security thread, and watermark are already built into the paper when it is received.

Now, who knows if that's actually accurate and not some kind of front. But it's from the official US money printer website thingy. Which for some ungodly reason calls itself moneyfactory. Dot gov. That's my wtf of the day.

Quick, we must escape with this forbidden knowledge before they can assassinate us!
Don't worry, I have a boat tree here. And over here, an oar tree. Once they've fruited, we can GTFO of here! They'll never catch us!

WHAT KIND OF SORCERER IS HE, HOW IS WHAT HE DOES EVEN POSSIBLE?

For anyone who doesn't know who he is, he was a painter who did a TV show about how to paint on PBS for like a decade. His style is basically "Dab some things onto the canvas, suddenly 5 seconds later there is a awesome cloud/river/mountain/whatever there from only like three brush bruss strokes".
Its like "Meh, what he is doing isn't that good" then 5 seconds later its "What just happened... how what did he just what?".

He was fricking awesome, that's how. He even took MY thoughts off hatred of all existence for a bit.

The pen is mighter than the sword. And the paintbrush is the pens hairy Eastern European cousin. Not the one that runs a taxi business and really loves bowling, the other one. The one that murders mob bosses, has five girlfriends and wrecks cars for shits and giggles.

In other words, Bob Ross is like an artistic Niko Bellic.
