• 

  Step 1

  Start with a crisp dollar.

• 

  Step 2

  Crease the dollar up into a point, like the way you would make a paper airplane. xP

• 

  Step 3

  Crease it down.

• 

  Step 4

  Unfold and use the new guidelines and push in the sides.

• 

  Step 5

  It should become a triangle shape and look like a house.

• 

  Step 6

  Next, fold the flaps up the point.

• 

  Step 7

  Stick you finger in the new flap.

• 

  Step 8

  And squish it down to make a square.

• 

  Step 9

  Repeat on the other side.

• 

  Step 10

  Then, using this picture as a guide, fold the corners of the square toward the center, where the crease is.

• 

  Step 11

  Repeat.

• 

  Step 12

  If you have big fingers like me...;-__-

  Use a pen to squeeze in-between the new flaps and press down.

• 

  Step 13

  <---It should look like this. It may be a little difficult at first because it's so small, but after making these hearts for a while, it should become fairly easy.

• 

  Step 14

  Repeat x3.

• 

  Step 15

  Then, do the exact same on the other side. By now, you probably just want to get this over with.

• 

  Step 16

  Fold the dollar like so.

• 

  Step 17

  Them pull it over to meet the other side. This will hide the extra space.

• 

  Step 18

  Crease down.

• 

  Step 19

  Hide the extra bits of dollar by tucking it under the main shape.

• 

  Step 20

  ...

• 

  Step 21

  <--Fold the flappy part of the dollar to the other point.

• 

  Step 22

  You can stop here if you want.

• 

  Step 23

  But I fold in the points so that it looks like an evenly-rounded heart.

I made a few of these and keep them in my wallet. When I go thru a fast food drive thru for coffee I love to pay with these. I make the dollar rings and do the same. A few days ago I did it and the girl screamed YES when I gave it to her.

It works for any kind of currency, but you have to know where to fold it. It's just a coincidence that the perfect spot to fold it is where the E's shadow is.
