10 Coolest & Creative Wrapping Papers

Real Money Wrapping Paper

When it comes to gifts usually it’s what’s on the inside that counts, but that’s not necessarily the case for the gifts Edwina Rogers gives — she wraps her presents in money. Uncut sheets of real, government-issued, dollar bills.

The wife of Washington lobbyist Ed Rogers gets the money sheets from the United States Bureau of Engraving and then slices and dices as you would any wrapping paper to best fit the gift and get the best pattern on the front of the package. No matter that she regularly cuts several bills in half in the process, to be frugal she sticks to the dollar paper and only uses it to wrap “small” gifts.

A sheet of money paper consisting of 32 $1 bills sells for $55. link
