folded money

Origami is one of the oldest forms of Japanese design. The Japanese origin began in the 6th century when Buddhist monks from China carried paper to Japan. Maybe they just wanted to annoy the Japanese by paying them in folded money that was nearly impossible to unfold, who knows. The planning and genius use of a single material to create a an intricate silhouette or design is probably one of the most challenging for any designer. Maone Bank of Brazil commissioned advertising agency DCS and created this clever use of local currency to illustrate how your money should multiply along with your family.
