- When is gift wrapping a gift in its own right? When it's
- made of dollar bills. In keeping with that notion, tony Florida
- clothier Maus & Hoffman is offering as gift wrap uncut sheets
- of 32 $1 bills for $55. (The Bureau of Engraving and Printing
- mails such sheets for $47.) Sales people at the company's five
- stores in Palm Beach, Bal Harbour and other playgrounds of the
- rich attach a sticker warning that the wrapping is real money.
- They also provide instructions to iron the sheets and frame
- them or roll them up for storage in the family safe. Of course,
- says owner Bill Maus, "some customers simply cut them up and
- spend them." His stores use about 400 sheets a year.
