What is paper watermark?
A paper watermark a design or pattern that is impressed into paper during the manufacturing process. It is visible when the paper is held up to the light and is used as a security feature to prevent counterfeiting and to indicate the authenticity of the paper. Watermarks can be logos, text, or intricate designs.

There isn't one. The last silver certificates were printed in the early 1960s under the 1957 series, but watermarks weren't used on US paper money until 1990. Even today $1 and $2 bills are considered too low in value to have extra anti-counterfeiting features. Watermarks, microprinting, security threads and so on are only used on $5 and higher bills.

Why do many countries use watermarked papers that make money?
It is done as a security feature. By using different watermarks on different denominations it makes counterfeiting by bleaching low denomination bills an reprinting them as higher denominations impossible. If you see a bill with the wrong watermark for its denomination, reject it as it is a counterfeit. Banks also check this and report counterfeit bills.

Where is a watermark found?
A watermark is found on (in) high quality paper, purpose manufactured paper, and paper used for legal documents. If you hold a blank piece of high quality white or parchment paper up to a light, you can see a pale mark, symbol, or word within the sheet. That's the Watermark. During the manufacturing process, a slightly embossed surface is used for depositing the pulp slurry, which makes that portion slightly thinner than the rest of the sheet, and it shows up as slightly transparent when the sheet is dried. Watermarks are used to identify a manufacturer, a company that uses specially made paper, provide a security check for money, checks, documents and so forth, identify a specialty paper, and so on.
