What do you do with your money? Spend it, give it away or increase value of your money because of its unique?
That’s the art, Moneygami. Origami is the traditional art of folding paper in Japan. Origami is Japanese word, the
literally meaning to fold (oru) paper (kami) and is made in many ways, styles and varieties. As its name Moneygami,
this type is origami made from currency instead of paper.
Origami expert Yosuke Hasegawa has created a new art-form combining money and origami which shows HRH as
you've never seen her before.
These incredible sculptures made out of bank notes make Her Majesty looks as though she is sporting a fetching
turban and a stylish sailor's hat.

But Yosuke doesn't restrict his talents to sterling and has also created amazing moneygami featuring Abraham
Lincoln and Gandi.
In these images Lincoln - who appears on five dollar bills in The States - seems to be wearing a baseball cap and
a mummy costume.
While Gandi looks a bit overly pleased with his attractive bandana.
