Apparently it’s not all bad. Susannah Moran in Australian IT is reporting today that thanks to our dollar plunging so spectacularly in recent months, we’re now the cheapest country in the world to buy iPods, improving from a paltry 14th position back in July.

Enough said. Well, that and the fact it seems a pretty good use for dollar notes nowadays. Check out the gallery below, and more of origamist (?) Won Park’s work at the DeviantArt link.
