There are some things money can't buy: for everything else, there's origami

These are some pictures of origami made from paper money. The picture to the left is a camera and the picture to the right is two fish.



Fun facts about origami:
  • The exact origin of origami is unknown, but some say that it began in the sixth century BC which was soon after paper was introduced to Japan.
  • Most origami traditions were passed down orally, until the book "How to Fold 1000 Cranes" by Senbazuru Orikata surfaced in 1797
  • The kindergarten movement in Germany (introduced around 1835 by Friedrich Froebel) included origami.
