Helpful Hints
- I tried to get new five, ten and twenty dollar bills but my bank only carried ones.
- I found the best twenties I had and stuck them between the one dollar bills. The glue didn't "grab" them so I removed the twenties. (sorry David)
- The less often you touch the bills, the better.
- Add a backing cardboard to the bottom of the stack of bills (6 1/8" x 2 5/8"). This is what you attach to the book.
- Use binder clips, place them close to the edge you are gluing. I placed cardboard shims to protect the money from being damaged by the clips.
- Apply thin layers of glue, allowing to dry completely each layer. I made approximately twelve layers of glue.
