For years I've been wrapping my gifts in New York City Transit subway maps--they're iconic and more importantly, free.
Those looking for something with a little more panache can wrap their gifts, as Edwina Rogers does, in real sheets of U.S. 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.A sheet of 32 one dollar bills costs about $55 USD and you can order them for yourself here.
Pretty crazy. Hit that link and you can order sheets of greenbacks in denominations up to $50.

What??!! So destroying bank note is not illegal in the US?
Doesn't anyone find this slightly....i don't know....wrong?
Leave it to a Washington lobbyist's wife to use currency as wrapping paper. I bet I know what they use to start up the fireplace. Shameful.
I've been folding it into origami and asking more skilled friends to make origami tessellations with the papers for several years now. And yes, I wrapped a gift for my father "who has everything" and he thought I had printed it.
