As notas de yuan atacadas por formigas

Damaged 100 yuan banknotes are seen on a table at a branch of China Bank in Foshan, Guangdong province, June 5, 2013. A woman brought about 400,000 yuan ($65,200), which she had kept at home, to the bank for replacement after most of the notes were bitten by white ants. Her notes were exchanged for new ones but for 60,000 yuan ($9,780) which the bank assessed and declared to be unchangeable

Cédulas danificadas de 100 yuan são vistas sobre a mesa numa filial do China Bank, em Foshan, na província de Guangdong. Uma mulher trouxe para o banco, para substituição, cerca de 400.000 yuan (£ 41,840) que ela mantinha em casa, depois que a maioria das notas foram mordidas por formigas brancas. Suas notas foram trocadas por outras novas mas para 60.000 yuan (6.275 £) que o banco avaliou e declarou ser imutável. Imagem: REUTERS
