Slate has this slide show of an artist who makes artwork with one dollar bills. The artist sometimes uses sheets of bills. Do you know where to get sheets of bills? ---

I was gonna say… even at the highest option, you only get 32 bills for $61. Where’s the bulk discount? Even if they had to take a slight loss on each sheet, they’d make up for it in _volume_! ---

I sat for a long time silent and he repeated his statement. I said “you mean, on sheets?” These two $2 bills were attached to each other and perforated. You can purchase $1, $2, and now $5 bills from the Bureau of Printing and Engraving on sheets. The sheets come in sizes of 4, 16, and 32 bills each. I buy such sheets of $2 bills. I carry large sheets, folded in my pocket, and sometimes pull out scissors and cut a few off to pay for something in a store. It’s just for comedy, as the $2 bills cost nearly $3 each when purchased on sheets. They cost even more at coin stores. [/QUOTE] ---

> [@Czarcasm](#): > > I’m willing to sell you a sheet of _$3_ bills at just cover price, plus $2 shipping and handling. That sounds great, as long as you can send me a sheet of $2 bills first so I can use them for the S&H. ---

> [@Pork\_Rind](#): > > Steve Wozniak [knows exactly what to do](http://archive.woz.org/letters/general/78.html) with the uncut sheets of $2 bills… Just get a small stack of new $2 bills and use bookbinder’s glue to seal the top edges so it looks like a pad of paper. You can tear one off each time you need to use one. It has the same effect and doesn’t cost $3 per bill. ---

Seriously? A $40 upcharge for a sheet of $50’s. That’s a pretty expensive novelty. If they were more reasonably priced, wouldn’t it be cool to wrap a present with the sheets! 😃 ---

$2 bills are still legal tender. You should be able to get them at any bank. ~VOW ---

Really? The URL for the organization that prints money in the USA is “moneyfactorystore”? Really? And I thought “annualcreditreport” or whatever it is was weird. Did they poll 3 year olds to come up with these names? ---
