Those dollar bills really will go places when they’re turned into these super paper airplanes. Select from 13 different models, all created from a variety of easy folds and a buck. (There’s no cutting, drawing, or taping involved, so the currency isn’t defaced or destroyed.) Duy Nguyen, author of more than a dozen origami books featuring every motif from creepy-crawly critters to holiday designs, presents a hangar full of cool aircrafts, accompanied by fun money facts. Just follow his simple, well-illustrated instructions to assemble a Boeing 747, F14A Tomcat, B-52 Stratofortress, Battlestar Gallactica Raider, Concorde, and others. It’s the best way to “throw away” that wealth!

A Great Gift for Beginners or Experts in Paper Folding,
By KAV (CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paper Airplanes With Dollar Bills: Another Way to Throw Your Money Away (Spiral-bound)
I got this book for Christmas while I was deployed overseas with the Army and I loved it. I made three planes in the first day. This book will show you how to take $1 bills (or bigger if you are really rich) and fold them into recognizable (if you are an airplane geek) planes. The planes range from the simple (A Concord) to the difficult (747) and from the historical (WWI fighter) to sci-fi (The Enterprise). I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone under the age of 16 though, unless they have previous experience in paper-folding as some of the planes are very difficult to make.
When I received my book it was stuffed full of crisp $1 bills. I do not think the book comes like this as it was not shrink wrapped but it is a good idea if you are going to give the book as a gift (after all who wants to fold their own money). While these planes are nice to look at, they have a few useful practices. If you can memorize how to make a few of them I am sure you could impress many people from your waiter/waitress/bartender to the attractive person sitting next to you on a long flight. So if you need a quick gift for someone, or just want to entertain yourself for a few hours, I would recommend this book. The reason I only gave it four stars is because a few of the directions and illustrations are confusing, but you can usually wing it with no big consequences (pun intended).).

Complete waste of time,

This review is from: Paper Airplanes With Dollar Bills: Another Way to Throw Your Money Away (Spiral-bound)
This book is a joke - a textbook example of how NOT to do a 'how to' book. Of all the oragami books I have seen and purchased, this one is far and away the worst at showing you how to fold the articles in question. An exercise in futility awaits the purchaser of this book. It makes a better test of your patience than anything else.

This review is from: Paper Airplanes With Dollar Bills: Another Way to Throw Your Money Away (Spiral-bound)
This book seemed cool but we haven't been able to make anything because the directions aren't clear and concise. Very frustrating.
