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

So writes the WSJ's Wealth Report

The blog post continues "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."

The host, Mario Correa, quips that he spends "less money on gifts for people than you do on the wrapping paper."
