Money Origami Videos

This page is dedicated to money origami videos. A lot of people are generating videos about origami (and everything else under the sun). Some of the videos below are fun to watch while others are instructional (and not so fun to watch). Generally speaking, the best way to learn origami is to have someone sit beside you and show you how it is done. Failing that, traditional origami diagrams with arrows and lines seem to work well. Videos have had mixed reviews: it is a different medium, that's for sure. Videos work well as companion to printed diagrams. In particular, they are useful if you are stuck at a particular spot and need to see how a fold is made.
