The Mighty Dollar

A joke dollar with George Washington holding his head in his hands in despair - the date is 2008, when the financial crash happened! An origami artist friend has created a fascinating structure out of a one dollar bill - it involves cutting some slots in the bill, and then folding it in a very ingenious way! A subway artist in New York folds dollar bills into any animal that people ask for. You can fold bills into finger rings. One version has a dime embedded in the ring - so you could call it a 'dime in a ring' - very nearly a diamond ring! Tim then shows how you can fold a bill into a rectangular link, and then combine three of these into an amazing three dimensional structure. Tim then demonstrates a version of this structure, where each ring uses two bills instead of one, and you end up with a larger version of the same structure.
