Tips:

- Money used for folding should be in crisp mint condition.

- Attach folded money to projects with temporary glue or double-stick tape for easy removal.

- Make enlarged photocopies of play money for larger projects.

- By law, paper currency can only be photocopied in back & white, single-sided and must be reduced to 75 percent or enlarged to 150 percent of its original size.
