As one who does it for a living, Marc Sky of Woodbridge, New Jersey U.S, has been folding his 'Creative Money Designs' for many years, combining the techniques of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding and using only one dollar bill. He first became interested in the art as a teenager.
The work is difficult because it needs precise calculations requires plenty of patience. The bills must be new and crisp. Through countless of trial and errors, now he can make about 75 different types of designs, from such seasonal characters as Santa to rings and a bikini. Some figurines have been sculpted in such precise calculation that they appear to have eye as well. Some even form a face (eyes, nose, mouth) on the finished model.
He also set up a display in First County Bank's corporate offices on Milltown Road in North Brunswick. First County Bank officers reasoned that "it's a very unique thing and something that could be easily related to banking," said President Robert C. Entwistle. "We thought it was a very natural thing to do."

Hola llegue aqui desde linkreferra esta muy bonito tu blog, si tienes oportunidad visita el mio esta en mi perfil.
Hola, thank you for your kind comment. I did visit your blog, but unfortunately I can't read Spanish. Though your site looks very nice and interesting too. Good luck to you!
When I was In America I was a upper management for Food Service. People give dollars folded into these designs to Servers (waitresses) all the time. In a way that is not cool. The sever wants to keep the dollar as a keepsake. But then she is out her dollar or five or more. I have seen some really neat foldings. One of my ladies received 4 twenty dollar bills folded as dogs and cats and other animals. They did not stay folded long! She needed the money.
Thanks for stopping by and the email. I blog to give the world some real information on Russia. I read blog after blog about how bad Russia is. I give my view point as I travel and live in Russia. For every bad point in Russia there is a bad point to match it in America.
I am married to a Russian woman who is my best buddy and navigator through the roads of Russia. We have a blast, every turn in the road is a new adventure.
I do not want to unbalance the Blog by ads and such. I give the information for people to learn and I enjoy writing.
Stop by anytime, I post often.
Kyle
