These are money....money for the dead.
In a few days time, it will be my grandmother's death anniversary.
We'll be burning these money for her to spend in the other world.
We could have simply burnt it as it is, unfolded.
But it's said, that folding the money into the shape of an ingot enhances the value.
So here I am doing money origami.....
I've still got a long way to go with the many stacks we bought...GUlPZ!
