Product Description
Hey, big spender--pull out that bill and...fold it. Duy Nguyen, the popular author of Dinosaur Origami and many other books, presents a creative new way to make the most of your money.
Why spend your bucks buying origami paper--when the money itself can be the paper? It adds a unique twist to traditional origami projects, plus you don't have to look any further than your wallet to find crafting materials. The clever projects, which range from a Jedi to a horseshoe crab, an American Eagle to an Oriental dragon, are absolutely fantastic. Some use a single dollar, while others need two or three bills and demand a little more skill--but with practice, patience, and Duy Nguyen's detailed illustrations of every fold, you will undoubtedly master all the techniques. For a little extra fun, amazing facts about U.S. currency appear throughout...such as how many times you can fold a dollar bill before it will tear--but don't worry, these projects will keep your money intact.

 Turn your hard-earned dollars into art!, 2008-07-22
Origami With Dollar Bills is a spiral bound book that will help you beat inflation by using the dollar bills in your wallet for something useful and decorative that will amaze your family and friends. If it had a few more designs, I would have added another star, but what the hey -- it's a cheap book and not a bad value at all.
So, even though the dollar bills won't get you much at the gas pump or supermarket, it can now become a bunny rabbit, vampire bat, shark, dragon and more. There are 15 objets to fold in all.
Now, that's getting your money's worth!

 Origami , 2008-04-17
Not as good as I thought it would be. Too difficult for a beginner. Thought it would be a good gift for children, but more for adults.

SOME GOOD, SOME BAD...A MIXED REVIEW, 2007-09-16
This is not what you would call a "bad" book, it is just one that did not live up to my expectations. The author gives us around 15 folding projects with a single dollar, a number of projects with multiple bills. I was looking for a book with only single bill folds. Some of the designs are cute, some not so cute. The directions are easy to follow though which is a plus and it is quite easy to teach the young ones the more simple folds. I must admit that the children were much more fascinated with this book than I was. The cost of the book though is reasonable and you probably will not be wasting your money in the purchase. Overall, an okay book, but I would have appreciated a bit more.

Incomplete and Obscure, 2007-08-12
This is a cute little book, but I was disappointed because it contains only 15 figures to make with dollar bills -- five using one dollar bill, seven using two, and three using three bills. Also, I don't consider most of the figures to be interesting ones or anything that most people will recognize upon seeing them. The figures are: eagle, eel, European dragon, fruit bat, horseshoe crab, Jedi, Klingon bird of prey, Oriental dragon, Phoenix, Roger's Rabbit, scorpion, sea lion, squid, tiger shark and vampire bat. Nevertheless, I set out to make every figure -- only to find that steps were missing from the instructions and photos, and I couldn't figure out how to get from here to there on several of the figures. After several failures I ended up giving up in frustration!
There is a bonus included -- approximately every 12-14 pages there is a 2-page spread of "fun facts about dollar bills."

 Folding Money, 2007-06-26
A better way to give kids money than just handing them a bill. Plus you get a history and fact to repeat while folding. Makes you look like you know what money is all about.
