$140,000 Coaster from Tetradecagon Cross Modules [Reverse]

The Tetradecagon Cross Modules are folded from Fake US $10,000 Bills but with the real dimension. The bills are posted earlier here -

After 2 attempts, I finally got it right on my third attempt...well almost but I think it is good enough. The assembly of 13, 14 and 15 modules looks similar and only needs a very slight adjustment in the angle.

 

I've also modified the modules by dividing the paper into thirds instead of quarters. Therefore, the cupboard fold is no longer symmetrical. This provides a larger area to fold the more acute angle.

 

Almost any paper currency can be used to fold the modules and interesting patterns can be generated from the assembly. There are 4 different orientation to begin with and that means for each assembly, I can have 4 different patterns, 8 if the reverse side of the assembly is included.

 

I shall not be folding from all the different orientations. just from one and the same orientation will do and will display the front and back side of the assembly. [Obverse and Reverse]

 

Many thanks to Dirk Eisner and Hans-Werner Guth for their collaboration.
