GREEN
According to the Museo Comunitario de Yucuhiti, when the U.S. first began printing currency, they got their natural green plant dye from Mexico. The U.S. didn't buy the dye, they offered to print Mexican currency too. So if you look at the bottom of bills for many years, Mexican currency has "AMERICAN BANK CURRENCY*" (in English) printed at the bottom of each bill.
