What kind of paper can I use in place of U.S. currency use that has its thinness, tensile strength, and excellence in creasingfor origami?

Using U.S. currency to fashion Origami models is wonderful due to the paper's thinness, tensile strength, pleasing texture, and ability to provide sharp creases. However

However, the small size of the bills and the fact that you cannot order larger blank sheets (for fairly obvious reasons) prohibits folding larger/more intricate models. Can

Can someone suggest an alternative "paper" (that is to say, not foil) material that is reasonably priced, available to order in something smaller than a huge press roll, and shares the aforementioned qualities? (Yes, some kinds of parchment come close but, invariably, those I try are too thick and/or provide less-than-satisfactory creases. And I'm not too keen on the watermarks!)
