Advice
- If you don't have any banknotes handy, or you just prefer a different color, or maybe you don't feel like giving money to someone, you can use a rectangular sheet of paper measuring 6.6cm by 15.6cm. A letter opener will help you get right angles.
- The same operation can be performed with banknotes of different sizes and countries. With a £ 5 or £ 10 (British pound) note you will need to skip step # 7.
- It will be easier to make creases on a flat surface.
- Work hard.
Warnings
- After this operation it will be difficult to use the same banknote in a vending machine.
- Be careful not to tear the bill.
