Make blog doesn't know where these origami money-heads-in-hats come from, but they want to. So do I. This looks like the best currency mod I've seen in ages.

Money hats

Previously:
  • Dollar bill origami animals - Boing Boing
  • Boing Boing: Currency origami -- strange bodies and familiar faces
  • Creative things to do with junkmail - Boing Boing

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I’ve scrolled past this post a couple of times, and I keep thinking it says “…for the feces on the money.”
