To make Alanbucks, I use a variety of markers, pens, etc.
Pens: Black, blue, red, green and purple.
Markers: Black, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Orange, Pink, Brown, Gray. (The black, orange, brown and dark blue markers are Crayola markers)
Recordsheets: I use these to keep track of how many bills I've made for a certain denomination. [one for A Mint, one for C Mint]. I print out a sheet with the then-current data, and leave some blank space. I fill in the blank space with the new numbers as I make more bills. Recordsheets are useful because they help me keep track of what serial numbers to use.
Paper: The bills have to be made on something. I use leftover paper from my school's computer lab. One side of the paper has had something printed on it, I use the side that's still good.
Pencil: Part of some designs. Also use it to draw lines on a blank sheet of paper for the spaces where each bill is drawn. (For dollar sheets, I draw 3 horizontal lines and one vertical line to divide the sheet into 8 spaces. For cent sheets, I draw 5 horizontal lines and 2 vertical lines to divide the sheet into 18 spaces.)
Ruler: I use it to draw lines with the pencil.
Copied line sheets: Sometimes, I draw the lines for one sheet and the run off copies of that in order to save time on line-drawing.
