Very cool but doesn't that count as vandalism?
-
I've seen this guys work and it is all awesome.
-
Interesting, but these are cut, not folded.
Here's a Slate article about the artist with some even more impressive "portraits" to check out:

Technically it's illegal to destroy money, but you can also buy uncut sheets of money from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving - it'll cost you the same as if the sheet had been cut; for example, a sheet with ten $1 bills will cost you $10. Most people just get the $1 sheets due to the costs...

After reading the title of the topic I thought I was going to see new cards that SMELL like money. Or FEEL like money.

God forbid we question the reliability of Pinterest as a source... ;)
In any case, the images you posted would be impossible to create by simply folding. :)

I had a hunch, but being a non-origamist, I couldn't say with authority. :))
Ya gotta admit, though - they look cool.

These are so awesome! :O

Inflation has passed you by, Don! Uncut sheets of $1 bills come in 4, 8, 16, or 32 bills. A sheet of 4 $1 bills is $16.25 and if you go up to an uncut sheet if 32 $1 bills, you'll have to pony up $61! Plus shipping! Think there's any profit in that?! :-)
BTW, those are BEP prices.

Thanks - I was mistaken. I was trying to go from memory of what someone told me, but I obviously didn't remember it correctly.

I wish that they were that inexpensive. I'd love to have an uncut sheet of bills to hang on the wall, but I can't force myself to pay double for simple cash. I need 32 fresh dollar bills and a 75 cent roll of Scotch tape!

Well if that's all it takes, an "re-uncut sheet" of Bicycles would cost about $5...
