Where Dollar Bills Come From

In the podcast they said they have a machine that folds it repeatedly. They need 5000 folds before tearing instead of the typical 50 for printer paper.

I also found it a little comical about the denied FOIA request for the profitability of the company.

5000 sounds like a low standard, especially because I fold my money each time I open and close my wallet (billfold style)

Maybe they meant folded as if it was creased. Most wallets do not need bills to be creased to fold.

When you figure that 5000 is equivalent to about 2 folds a week for 50 years, it seems reasonable.

This is why I discovered that my wallet tears my money when I switched to a billfold.
