When were were at a Chinese buffet, I noticed several Origami hearts clipped over a glass at the checkout counter. The little Chinese waitress handed one to me to see. It was so neat!
On one side, you can insert a coin (no idea why, other than as a weight if you use it as a bookmark?), the back side clips over a page, but it's so neat. I traded her $2 for 2 of the hearts. I've been trying to take a picture of it, but it keeps turning out blurry. Here are instructions on You Tube.

Origami has endless possibilities for designs you can fold. Making dollar origami hearts is a great way to give some extra money to someone along with a gift or just as a gift themselves.

Watched your video, great job. It sure takes a lot of patience to make one.
that's the best use of YouTube I've seen yet! thanks for putting that up.
Oooops... sorry, I should have stated in my post that I didn't MAKE this video. I didn't know what this heart was called. So I did a Google search on Origami Heart and the youtube page came up. So I included it my post. I didn't meant to mis-represent it. I couldn't locate any written instructions, and I'm sure I wouldn't be able to follow them anyway.
I took the picture of the little finished heart. I held it to the screen
and took the pic.
WONDERFUL post. thank you for finding that great video : )
I have been doing origami for a couple of years now, and I really enjoyed doing this! Thanks
Thanks for posting both! With the patience it takes to fold it, it's worth doing on a larger bill, like a $20!
Thanks - I've been looking for unique 'little things' to give my granddaughter. She'll love this!
My wife and I send postcards to all our young nieces and nephews when we travel. We also bring them back coins from wherever we go. We recently attended a Christmas family gathering. We have a dozen kids to do gifts for. We usually do origami $50 bills in various shapes.
