A man surnamed Zhang in Muyang county of east China's city
of Suqian, Jiangsu province took a bag of damaged, rotten bills worth
100,000 yuan (15,700 U.S. dollars) to a local bank for possible
replacement. According to Zhang, for reasons unknown, his mother buried
the money under their kitchen floor after wrapping it in a plastic bag
and sealing it in an iron box over four years ago.
This summer when her
son Zhang was preparing to get married, she recalled the stashed cash
and requested her family dig the money out, only to find a heap of
severely mutilated notes. According to him, "My parents were frozen at
the site. It was their life savings over years of hard work in the
cities. They just can't accept the loss."
Managers at the bank were surprised to find the notes
reduced to a load of rotten, clamped-together lumps. A mutilated
currency expert in the central bank's local branch examined the notes
and said that he bills can hardly get redeemed. However, he claimed he
would try to seek better solutions, saying "After all, it's a lot of
money, and we hope to help the Zhangs minimize their loss."
