			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every kid had a phase when he (or she) was obsessed with the art of paper folding, or <a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2010/02/learn_origami_while_doing_your_business/" title="Origami Toilet Paper">origami</a>, as we all call it. Who wouldn&#8217;t be? After watching masters &#8211; or even those with decent skills &#8211; create magic out of mere pieces of paper, anyone would want to be able to do the same thing. Many of us probably have outgrown the origami fascination, but I just discovered a variation that just might awaken that once again: moneygami.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a no brainer, what moneygami is all about. Instead of using just any piece of paper (although there is special paper used for origami), moneygami makes use of real paper money. There is no secret that money of any denomination is highly valued these days, especially with the economic situation all over the world, but I suppose that if you had a bill or so to spare, engaging in moneygami is a worthwhile endeavor. After all, your creations may even fetch more than the bill that was used!</p>
<p>Take a look at this koi that was created out of a one dollar bill, and tell me that isn&#8217;t fascinating.<br />
<div id="attachment_39497" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 480px;  border: 1px solid #dddddd; background-color: #f3f3f3; padding-top: 4px; margin: 10px; text-align:center; display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2011/12/moneygami-not-your-usual-origami/one_dollar_koi_new_ver__side_by_orudorumagi11-940x731/" rel="attachment wp-att-39497" title="One Dollar Koi"><img src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2011/12/One_dollar_koi_new_ver__side_by_orudorumagi11-940x731-470x365.jpg" alt="One dollar koi new ver  side by orudorumagi11 940x731 470x365 Moneygami: Not Your Usual Origami" title="One_dollar_koi_new_ver__side_by_orudorumagi11-940x731" width="470" height="365" class="size-medium wp-image-39497" /></a><p style=' padding: 0 4px 5px; margin: 0;'  class="wp-caption-text">One Dollar Koi</p></div></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t like fish? How about a spider made from a two dollar bill?<br />
<div id="attachment_39500" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 480px;  border: 1px solid #dddddd; background-color: #f3f3f3; padding-top: 4px; margin: 10px; text-align:center; display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2011/12/moneygami-not-your-usual-origami/two_dollar_spider_by_orudorumagi11-940x940/" rel="attachment wp-att-39500" title="Two Dollar Spider"><img src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2011/12/Two_Dollar_Spider_by_orudorumagi11-940x940-470x470.jpg" alt="Two Dollar Spider by orudorumagi11 940x940 470x470 Moneygami: Not Your Usual Origami" title="Two_Dollar_Spider_by_orudorumagi11-940x940" width="470" height="470" class="size-medium wp-image-39500" /></a><p style=' padding: 0 4px 5px; margin: 0;'  class="wp-caption-text">Two Dollar Spider</p></div></p>
<p>I can only imagine just how much work this little spider took! Now if you are not into animals, this battle tank made out of a two dollar bill might be your thing.<br />
<div id="attachment_39499" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 480px;  border: 1px solid #dddddd; background-color: #f3f3f3; padding-top: 4px; margin: 10px; text-align:center; display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2011/12/moneygami-not-your-usual-origami/two_dollar_battle_tank_by_orudorumagi11-940x940/" rel="attachment wp-att-39499" title="Two Dollar Battle Tank"><img src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2011/12/Two_Dollar_Battle_Tank_by_orudorumagi11-940x940-470x470.jpg" alt="Two Dollar Battle Tank by orudorumagi11 940x940 470x470 Moneygami: Not Your Usual Origami" title="Two_Dollar_Battle_Tank_by_orudorumagi11-940x940" width="470" height="470" class="size-medium wp-image-39499" /></a><p style=' padding: 0 4px 5px; margin: 0;'  class="wp-caption-text">Two Dollar Battle Tank</p></div></p>
<p>Not to say that those moneygami pieces are not impressive, but these two are the ones that really got my attention.<br />
<div id="attachment_39498" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 480px;  border: 1px solid #dddddd; background-color: #f3f3f3; padding-top: 4px; margin: 10px; text-align:center; display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2011/12/moneygami-not-your-usual-origami/queen-elizabeth-10-pound/" rel="attachment wp-att-39498" title="Queen Elizabeth 10 Pound Bill"><img src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2011/12/Queen-Elizabeth-10-Pound-470x313.jpg" alt="Queen Elizabeth 10 Pound 470x313 Moneygami: Not Your Usual Origami" title="Queen Elizabeth 10 Pound" width="470" height="313" class="size-medium wp-image-39498" /></a><p style=' padding: 0 4px 5px; margin: 0;'  class="wp-caption-text">Queen Elizabeth 10 Pound Bill</p></div></p>
<div id="attachment_39496" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 480px;  border: 1px solid #dddddd; background-color: #f3f3f3; padding-top: 4px; margin: 10px; text-align:center; display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"><a href="http://www.forevergeek.com/2011/12/moneygami-not-your-usual-origami/kid_lincoln_by_zgamer0221/" rel="attachment wp-att-39496" title="Lincoln One Dollar Bill"><img src="http://www.forevergeek.com/wp-content/media/2011/12/Kid_Lincoln_by_zgamer0221-470x488.jpg" alt="Kid Lincoln by zgamer0221 470x488 Moneygami: Not Your Usual Origami" title="Kid_Lincoln_by_zgamer0221" width="470" height="488" class="size-medium wp-image-39496" /></a><p style=' padding: 0 4px 5px; margin: 0;'  class="wp-caption-text">Lincoln One Dollar Bill</p></div>

Well, I am as serious as the person who came up with the idea of Origami Toilet Paper!  Take a look at that roll – I am pretty sure that everyone will not be able to help but take a second look at it.</p>
<p>The Origami Toilet Paper is just like any other toilet paper that you can find in the market today.  You use it for, well, cleaning up after you do your business.  You can use it for wiping up spills.  You can even use it to wipe your hands dry after you wash them.  The best thing about it, though, is that you can expand your cultural and artistic borders by learning the ancient Japanese art of origami!</p>
<p>I might be setting myself up for something here, but I have to admit that I have this thing about toilet paper. I just gotta have the nice kind, three-ply no less.  There is nothing worse than using cheap and nasty toilet paper in my mind.  If you’re on the hunt for the best kinds of toilet paper in the supermarket, you just have to ask me and I can point you in the right direction without even looking!</p>
<p>This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this, though.  A hundred feet of Origami – now that’s original!  At $3.50 per roll, you might want to save it for special occasions, though. I am thinking parties, except that you risk having people line up outside your bathroom just to have some fun!</p>
