Chinese man saved £70,000 in coins to buy new car

[wiqi21]

This story leaves us wondering how many piggy banks he needed to protect all that money.

For some reason, a car buyer decided he wanted to pay for a new car with four tonnes of coins.

It took a lorry to drop off the payment of 680,000 coins, including 660,000 coins worth 1 yuan (0.1p), at a dealership in Liaoning province, east China.

It took an hour for 10 workers at the car dealership just to empty the 1,320 bundles of coins from the van, let alone count the money.

There’s now a problem with banking. The dealership either faces paying charges to put the money into a bank or it could just pay its workers using the bundles of cash. Not exactly practical.

Instead of counting every coin they should employ statistics. Japanese (modern pioneers in applied stats) and Chinese are good at stats so probably thats what they did anyway.

I used to work in a money counting room and they had coin sorter/wrapper machines. You just poured stuff in a funnel and it did the rest using "official" wrappers. I'm sure in China they have those machines too.

Seems weird a bank would force a fee. As long as it's in good shape money is money.
