Just had a customer call to say he had a few foriegn bills that he would like to display on top of his office desk. ( In plexi where you can see both sides) I've never done this, so my question is what is the proper way to do this, including the base for it to stand on.:shrug:

I did a similar item for a customer once, although it was not money. But the same concept should work.

Cut 2 sets of identical mats, with openings just slightly larger than the bills. Encapsulate the bills in Melinex, then assemble the mats with the bill showing inside.

For the upright frame, I used a 3/4" Studio black. Made 2 identical frames, then fit the contents with the necessary spacers to fill up the 2 rabbets. I joined the frames together with black head screws which I countersunk into the moulding. Remember to stain your countersink hole before you screw them together.

I used a larger LJ Antiqua for the base, but turned the moulding on end when I mitered it. If you measure correctly (which I didn't) the upright frame will fit into the rabbet of the base moulding.

The result is <a href="http://www.greyfoxgallery.com/img/framing/pennztester.jpg" target="_blank">here.</a>

I don't know why the hyperlink doesn't work.
 
Thank you Richard for sharing, truely an amazing job. It definetly is giving me some ideas to work with.:thumbsup:
 
We can make a sandwich frame with base. Free standing and can be viewed from both sides exactly the same. Please call and I will send you pictures. We have done this many times and it works great and is very easy to do.
