Hello quater-ga,
Indeed, the type of paper used for birth certificates and that used
for bank notes is often the same. Birth certificates and certified
copies of birth certificates are issued in many jurisdictions on
banknote paper.
Here are several web pages that show how often birth certificate paper
is bank note paper:

additional information in response to the $100 question.
