An elderly woman in
eastern China who buried 100,000 yuan (around USD $15,600) beneath her kitchen
four years ago recently dug it up to use for her son’s wedding only to find the
notes had decomposed, news portal JSChina.com.cn reports.
The woman’s son said
his mother sealed the money in a plastic bag and put it in a metal box before
burying it. Yet the banknotes were clumped and crumbled into pieces when they
were handled.
“This is almost all of
my parents’ life savings,” said the man, who lives in Muyang County.
“They can’t accept
what’s happened. So I want to go to banks and see if they have any solution.”
However, an expert at
the People’s Bank of China told him he had little chance to redeem the ruined
banknotes. But he offered to contact experts at other banks for a further
evaluation.
