Cotton as Currency

A plant that I believe, could be used for currency in an American society today would be cotton. Cotton could be used as currency because, it is very useful to everyone and almost everyone in the world owns something that cotton is contained in. Being able to be grown very easily, Cotton would be an ideal form of currency.  In paper currency today, three/fourths of it, is made out of Cotton. So why not just make the whole thing cotton? It is so valuable across America today; it would not fail as a form of currency. Cotton is grown, and harvested each year, therefore there would never be a shortage. Society is defined as a community of people living together in a particular region and having shared customs, laws and organizations. If this is true about society, then cotton can be found in any society, whether it be in the mountains, or in the city. Therefore, with cotton already being a major product in America that is used daily, and is already located in a part of our currency system; Cotton would be a reliable and useful form of currency, in any society in America.
