Fun use for shredded USD?

Post by cortman »

I have about 10 oz of shredded United States dollars from a mint museum trip a while back. Kind of hate to throw it out because it's kind of cool, but I can't think of a clever use for it. Any ideas? 😁

What about making a cutting board/serving board? Maybe lay it all out on some flat sheet and glue it down, then cover it entirely with epoxy, sand and polish the epoxy so you have a perfectly flat clean surface. No idea how well it would work in practice but in my mind it sounded cool [emoji28]

I second this idea. That could make for such a dope charcuterie board!

Haha, this was my first thought. Package filler for when you sell a watch?

Now that would be some baller filler lol. That would be too funny if the buyer realized what it was and had to ask :lol:

You could also use it to decoupage a watch box, as that's where so much of your money is located!

Hahaha
