Fast facts about cotton. A single bale of cotton can be processed into the fiber needed to make $300,100 bills, as US currency is made up of 75% cotton. The part that we recognize as cotton is actually referred to as lint, the fibers that are eventually spun into fabric. A single bale of cotton can weigh over 6,000 pounds, but over half of that weight comes from sticks, stems, and seeds that need to be sorted out later. Nothing on a cotton tree goes to waste. The lint is used for fiber, the seeds are used for feed and oil, and the stock is ground into mulch. Cotton cellulose is so pure, pure, it's even used in electronics like TV screens. Cotton is really a perennial tree that can grow up to 10 feet tall if unmanaged.
