False millions of dollars were found
112 millions dollars were found at Czech-German border during routine control of a cargo. Cheb police discover over 1,1 millions false one hundred dollar banknotes.
Packets of banknotes has tapes with a text “banknotes for a cult”. This was transported by Vietnam traders in boxes with food and with kitchen tools. False banknotes has very bad quality, but these copies were printed at both sides. So it can happen that someone who haven’t seen true dollars will not recognize false from true.
It is probably that the false should be used for religion purposes. Vietnam religion uses a false money to burn in sacrifice rituals. This can help to summon spirits of ancestors.
Now Czech National Bank has to decide, if the banknotes will be returned to Vietnam community or destroyed.
