$1000 Dollar Pens

[ElMostro]

Here are a couple of pens I just finished. They are made from aprox ten $100 dollar bills each. Photo 1 is both pens, Photo 2 is with the blank cut along the grain and Photo 3 is with the bills cut cross grain. (Now I have to run to the bank and redeposit the $$[}])

Why 100's when nobody can tell the difference if the pen were made from a stack of 1's??

Many times it is the story that sells the pen.

Very clever Idea, I presume you got the shredded money at a mint? And your right the $100 bills idea was best.

Russ, It depends on what $$ I have excess of on a given week [] for this project I had excess $100s [] If I make them out of $1s then it would be a $10 pen[)]

Just kidding. I figured that "made out of $100 bills" sounds better than $1 so I orderd $100 bills.

Or make a thousand pens out of one of these.

Really cool idea! I think they all look cool, but the strips run lengthwise IMO are nicer because you can read some of the stuff.

I think they look cool! Where did you get the shredded currency? I checked on buying shredded currency from the treasury facility in Ft. Worth and I think a 5 lb bag was $45. Is there a better source?

PS: I can't afford to shred my own[8D].

Nice looking pens!

 

[ElMostro]

Jedgerton, $45 for 5 pnd sounds about right. I ordered from another place it was about $7 bucks cheaper but after waiting for about 2 weeks on the order I called and cancelled.
Now if only you could get 5 lbs and recustruct the bills that would be a great return on the investment don't you think?....[}]

Eugene,
Hi! I'd hate to think what druggies would do with the pen barrels...
Those pens are a cool idea. Can you or John post a link to the source?
