How Chinese Bank Repaired $4,500 Worth of Cash Torn in 100K pieces

Daniel Kim Views  

A bank in China repaired $4,500 worth of torn banknotes. The banknotes were from a woman who died from depression.

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 1st, Zhang received repaired banknotes from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) in Kunming, Yunnan Province, in southwest China last June.

Zhang went to the bank with the torn banknotes after her sister-in-law died after battling depression.

In China, banks are required to trade unusable banknotes for free. However, many banks denied the trade due to the difficulty of restoring 100,000 banknotes.

Zhang explained, “My sister’s life hasn’t been easy, and I thought it would be a big help if I could exchange the money, so I decided to try.” ICBC accepted Zhang’s request, and four employees assisted in the recovery process.

An ICBC employee remarked that they had never seen a note divided into so many pieces, with over 100,000 fragments, some smaller than a fingernail. Another employee added that three different currency types were involved, initially confusing it.

After 22 days of hard work, all the banknotes were successfully repaired, totaling 32,000 yuan (about $4,500).

Zhang sent a banner to the bank expressing her gratitude, where she wrote, “Take people’s difficulties into consideration, solve problems, and warm hearts.
