There's the always common turban Noguchis, which I followed the instructions and made.

But then I had a few more notes and I was interested... what could I make?

And I made these...

I quite like the sparrow!

By the way, if anyone wants one, I have another 1000 yen and I can fold it for you. Or, you can send me your 1000 yen notes and I'll make on for you. :D

Very cool, WD.

I like some of the origami designs from money on this site too:

Now I don't know if this qualifies as origami. Fish are a lucky sign in Thailand so my wife has this hanging on her Buddha altar. It's made of five 10 baht notes and the body is padded.

Wd / thai,

That's very creative you too.

Wd, I would like to see ones with Abe, George, Ben, Alexander and Thomas the next time you are bored. Ulysses Grant's you permission to do so.

Thai, How much does that cost in US $ to buy or did your wife make that? It's beautiful.

Peace

The fish was bought by my wife's mother at a Buddhist temple. She doesn't remember whcih one (she visits a lot of them) and can't remember how much she paid. I've not seen another at a temple or in any of the numerous shops here that sell religious/lucky knick-knacks. Sorry.

Vic, thanks for looking into it. In your profile I saw your location and was reminded of an old song from the former Ceylon in Tamil called "Suranganni". You can find it on you tube.

Peace
