There are at least 60 American dollar bills hidden around the creepy mansion in Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. If you want to get all 20 collectibles and all the Magician's stories, you'll need to pick up as many dollar bills around the Hotel.
Where to find all American Dollars in Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
While the American dollar bills hidden around the manor in Lorelei and the Laser Eyes aren't required to solve any puzzles and complete the game, you'll need to get all of them in order to unlock all the adorable little collectibles and see all the stories the Magician has to offer. Here are all the locations of American dollar bills I've found so far, and this list will be updated as I find more.
Location 1: Front Yard
The first American dollar is located as soon as you enter the front gate of the Hotel where the dog is. Head to the right near the fence, and look for a birdbath. There is a dollar inside it.

How to use the American dollars in Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
When you first enter the Hotel, head down the stairs across from the receptionist's desk. In this area, you can find the bathroom and a gumball machine. If you put a dollar into this machine, you'll get a collectible and you'll put it into the little stand beside the machine. Collect all 20 to fill in every spot on the collectibles board. Once you have done all 20, you'll get the achievement for completing it.
You'll also need some money to hear all the Magician's Stories; there are at least four of these, and they each cost $10 USD. In order to see them all, you'll need to interact with the Magician's ghost in each of the four corners of the theatre locations. You will gain access to this location after you unlock the Caravan in the Forest, and you give the Magician the reddest rose. The rose is earned from completing the Piano puzzle.
