title: Dollar Origami (mass market) (Mass Market Origami Books)
author:  Won Park 
description: Won Park was&nbsp;born in Korea and moved to the United States when he&nbsp;was three years old. Origami was an important part of his&nbsp;life from a very young age. Won started&nbsp;folding paper when&nbsp;he was 6 years old. His first&nbsp;mentor was&nbsp;his mother, who taught&nbsp;him very simple models. As he&nbsp;got older,&nbsp;he started to study origami from books he&nbsp;borrowed from the library. Won&nbsp;started to&nbsp;fold money when&nbsp;he was in middle school. He found&nbsp;the paper used to make the dollar was&nbsp;the ideal folding medium, since the&nbsp;paper is very resilient and strong. Since then he has specialized in folding&nbsp;money.
