Hey everyone,

Anyone specialize in folding dollar bills? Or any kind of U.S. money? I love folding money and it's great for tips, gifts, gags, & tons of fun stuff. Anyway, I'm looking to learn some new folds. Anybody have some complicated stuff? Or even beginner folds?

Also, does anyone know of some excellent books to read up on about dollar bill origami? I have about 3 right now and I've read them cover to cover. Thanks!

P.S. Check out my YouTube Video if you would like to see the fold I just learned. It took me a while to figure it out, but it's so cool.

A lot of my designs are from dollars-I have a diagram for a mortarboard that I'm working on that is fairly simple-it will probably be online soon. If you want to see some really good stuff, check out Won Park-he is amazing!

Hey Jonnycakes, (kinda has a ring to it, lol)

Check out Won Park? Where could I find some of his folds? Is he on this forum?

I don't think so...If you just google his name you can probably find some pictures.

I am in his yahoo group-moneyfolders_unite. He has a gallery of his models posted there and also some diagrams I believe.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the pictures of the books. I'm familiar with one of them (got it for x-mas), but I don't think I've seen the bottom one.

Anyway, have you bought the book "Making Even More With Money". Or for this matter, has anyone bought the book "Making Even More With Money"? I have the first edition (Making More With Money) and it's my favorite book for money folds.
