The packaging of this book is beautifully designed with a box, some sample money to play with, written instructions and how-to movies of all the folds. I always find a video of origami a thousand times easier to follow than written instructions. So that was appreciated here and well worth the price.

I bought The Money Origami Kit as a gift for someone who knows nothing about origami but says he wants to know how to make money folds. I thought this a perfect way to introduce him to origami where he can learn some of the easier diagrams and at the same time create something that has special meaning for him.

Michael LaFosse's Origami Money Kid is a wonderful gift for anyone including yourself.

some are easier than others so there is something for all stages whether beginner or advanced; it would have helped me if the diagrams had been in color rather than gray.
