New way for old money. Collage style!

[JohnU]

After spending a few days casting snake skin, I decided to try a new way to cast money. I like the first (usual) casting style and think it gives the pen more of an elegant look, but you cant see the cash and Ive had people ask me what it was, so I decided to try the second style. It takes a lot longer, but you can see what your getting. Thanks for all comments.

Can you get anyone to make change for that one?

nice job...the ways are completly different....keep the ideas coming.

You just gave an idea to all those suckers (people) who invested in Iraq's Dinar and were going to make a million! It would be a great gift to the troops as well...

Nice job. The money is very recognizable and I like the alternating sides. I've done some regular casts and som where the money is so tightly packed that it is nearly unrecognizable (I called it "money burl"). What I found was that each style appealed to different people. I'm sure you'll have buyers for both.

Regards,

Very nice, I like it better that way.

I gotta try that. Nice work.

okay, I have to ask. Did you send a dollar through a strip shredder or is it a photocopy of a bill? The Fed wouldn't do it that way as it would be too easy to reassemble a bill and exchange it, so I know it come from them.

very recognizable though.

Thanks for showing me the money.
Nice looking pens.

Thanks for all the comments. I bought a very large bag of shredded money and sat for a few hours one night ironing it out. I use the pieces without good sides for the first layer and then overlap the seams with the second so the brass doesnt show. I also painted the tubes green to help. I can say positively that the bag is all $1.

I vote for your new style, it's very nice and very identifiable. Worth the effort!

The best money pens I`ve seen........Excellent job.
