The only reason that Crane is making currency paper is because they got a law passed that requires that paper to be manufactured in the United States. There is a Canadian paper company just over the border from them that can supply higher quality paper for lower cost, but can't due to that law. Yet another case of lobbyists getting a law made to favor only a single company.
