5.0 out of 5 stars
Best origami book so far using dollar bill, October 28, 2000
Skill Level: Simple to IntermediateModels avaliable include sailboat, fish, starfish, seahorse, shark, duck, swan, owl, parrot, toucan, penguin, sparrow, crane, rooster, snake, turtle, apatosaurus, triceratops, pig, sitting cat, dog, mouse, rabbit, unicorn, horse, cow, kangaroo, elephant, rhinoceros, deer, camel and giraffe. This book contains all the Montroll's typical subjects but with a twist. They are folded not using the usual square piece of paper but with a dollar bill which is a rectangle with the ratio of 1:2.35. Although the book teaches you how to approximately cut rectangles to the approximate size, this destroys the uniqueness of folding using money. The main problem is that not all paper money has that ratio. In Singapore, the paper money here has the ration of 1:2. Still despite the same boring Montroll's subjects, it is still very interesting and fun to fold using paper money. It is a subject worth pursuing since you can surprise people when you pay using origami animals made from paper money. Problem is the person collecting the money may want to unfold and ensure that your money is good.You can delight kids when you give them money in the form of origami models. Who knows it just might encourage them to save. Overall, I like this book despite the same boring subjects. My favourites are the turtle and the penguin. The book surprise me by the range of topics that could be folded using paper money. I have quite a number of books on folding using paper money and I rate this the best one of all. Strongly recommended for the potential fun it could generate and it is not that difficult to fold since there are various levels of difficulty.
