Dollar Origami ( Exhibition only ( Not Instructional ) )

To watch a video of how to make this, click on either matthewngl's or OrigamiFingers's video response.

As with all Origami, it looks even cooler in person.
I call it the uncrushable fold, because it's (get this...) un-crushable (relative to the paper's thickness, of course)
By the way, this isn't original. I saw a picture in a book and copied it. If you know the actual name of the fold, please tell me. (It is not Jeremy Shafer's Slithering Snake Skin, to see a short comparison watch the attached vid with two hands holding a piece of orange paper)

what is the pattern called?

[OrangeYouGladYo]

@shirubiu

I've been told 4 times that it is a "herringbone" pattern, so let's just go with that.

[Jbro42]

can you still pay with it?

or sell it for more to collectors?

1 dollar origami worth 5 to collectors!

[OrangeYouGladYo]

Are you kidding? I couldn't sell a crumbled up dollar for 5 bucks! Anybody who would be willing to buy it, I'd be selling ghost insurance to. ("Do you have any deceased parents or siblings? No? Well how about your friends, have any of them passed away? No? Maybe you had a pet gerbil or gold fish once that has passed over to the other side? Yeah? Well that constitutes an intimate relationship to the dead, which voids your insurance policy. Sorry, have a nice life! And good luck with your ghost!)

If I took the time to do that to the cash in my pocket, I might actually be able to hold onto it longer.
