This from the Wall Street Journal:

Edwina Rogers, the wife of Washington lobbyist Ed Rogers, is a master of the form and has developed her own signature specialty. She wraps her thank-yous in sheets of real dollar bills, purchased from the Bureau of Engraving.

She unfurls a roll of dollar bills and starts slicing them up to make the appropriate wrapping sheets. No matter that she slices several dollar bills in half–it is all about lining up the George Washingtons on the front.

“The effect is fabulous, especially for foreigners,” she says. “They love it.”

note that Ed Rodgers is a lobbyist (Vice Chairman of Barbour Griffith & Rogers, who has strong Republican ties), and was a one time assistant deputy to none other than George W. Bush. Edwina herself is former associate director of the White House’s National Economic Council. Makes perfect fiscal sense to me. Check out the video. Grosses me out, but hey maybe you’re into that kind of thing.
