Best origami book so far using dollar bill, 28 Oct 2000
By "lhs1701" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dollar Bill Animals in Origami (Paperback)
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.

A world in a dollar, 7 Oct 2000
By Sen Peng Eu "ESP=Math+Music+Literature" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dollar Bill Animals in Origami (Paperback)
Unlike others, dollar bill origami designs are apparently more challenging owing to small papers. In addition to beautiful or logical, It should be foldable-- after all, a dollar bill is so small. Montroll shows his readers here how versatile he is, and he is still a shining first-rate folder. How can he fold over 30 different animals in a tiny dollar bill. These vivid animals range from easy toucan, seahorse to intermediate tricertops, kangaroo to complex elephant, giraffe and camel. Some models need careful work, but the results are quite satisfying. Novice folders will have endless joy while veterans will find many surprises here. In my opinion, among all 32 models I like the turtle most. Neat,logical,3D,it is a masterpiece. Highly recommended .

Practicality, 18 April 2004
By "yourlocalballoonguy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dollar Bill Animals in Origami (Paperback)
Ever leave a tip for a waiter? Ever hand a hairdresser a couple bucks? Ever forget to get that "special gift" for someone's birthday?This book is what you need. pull out a buck and fold one of these designs and impress all around. (Because some of these shapes are rather complicated, try what I do. I learn one shape a week and keep them foleded in my wallet as to be for quick and easy retrival. And when there is free time, fold some green!)
I have learned a Camel, Rooster, and Penguin so far and use them for almost any occasion.
Listmania!
