Coins must be familiar to all of us, and even like them very much. But the world is so big that there is no wonder. There are also various kinds of strange coins in the world: for example, Yapu island uses a kind of huge chiseled thunderstone as money. Some of these 'huge money' weigh up to 3 tons, and two cows can't pull it. Among them, the most outstanding one is the zero dollar note issued by India to prevent corruption. Today, Xiaobian will take you around these wonderful coins to see which one you think is the most wonderful.
1. The lowest denomination: Zero dollar notes
The zero rupee note is a zero denomination mock currency issued by the 5th pillar, an Indian NGO, to protest against the country's serious corruption problem. Up to 2011, the circulation was 1.3 million. When government officials ask citizens to give bribes, the latter will pay them the money to express their dissatisfaction with being extorted. Open the imagination of the nation and ask whether you will accept it?
2. The world's largest denomination note: the 21st power of 10
In 1946, Hungary fell into the worst inflation quagmire ever. Zaire, Africa - after overthrowing Joseph Mobutu's totalitarian government in 1997, the new government ran into a cash crunch until they designed and issued a new currency. At that time, the Hungarian government issued the world record denomination zango (the former currency unit of Hungary), with a maximum denomination of 10 to the 21st power. However, when converted into U.S. dollars, the amazing denomination is only about 20 cents & hellip; & hellip;
3. The heaviest coin in the world, a coin of 8 tons
On Yap Island in the Solomon Islands, you'll find the largest and most bizarre currency in the world, Leshi. Laishi is a limestone plate with a hole in the center, which can reach 12 feet in diameter and weigh 8 tons. Lestone may be the only currency in the world that can't be put into a pocket. The way of trading is also very unique: once transported to the designated location, the stones will no longer be moved, but everyone on the island knows who their owners are. Think of it as drunk & hellip; & hellip;
4. The most economical banknote: banknote without face
Zaire, an African country, after overthrowing Joseph & middot; Mobutu's totalitarian government in 1997, the new government was in short of cash until they designed and issued a new currency. In order to solve the problem of cash shortage, the new government turned its eyes to the large amount of 20000 denominations of Zaire issued by the old regime. As a way of saving money, they buttoned off the face of mobuto's head on the paper money. Does this kind of rice always feel a little less in hand?
5. Money that can't be seen with it: money that can be eaten
Let's go back to the middle ages, when salt was the main currency in the Sahara desert and was widely used throughout East Africa. People lick the pieces of salt with their tongues to make sure it's true, and then cut them into small pieces for trading. Edible currency family also includes Ren, cocoa beans, parmesan cheese and so on. In fact, it's very good. You can eat it when you're hungry!
6. The most expensive money: 276000 yuan of wrong edition coin
Previously, the dime was sold at auction after being misprinted on a nail and sold for $42000. The coin was wrongly printed on a flattened nail, with the face of President Roosevelt on the front, the words' in God we trust 'on the front, and a torch on the back. According to the professional coin rating company, its grade is higher than that of ordinary coins. Although there is no date on the coin, it is inferred that the coin was cast in 2000 or earlier.
7. Russian pine bark currency
In Medieval Russia, squirrel skin became a common currency. For this, the Russians should apologize to PETA. It is speculated that besides squirrel skin, the nose, claws and ears of animals once played the role of currency. There could be an unexpected benefit to using squirrel skin as currency, Mr doth said.
8. Voice currency, Mongolian Kennedy coin
Mongolia issued 500 tugric coins in 2007 with a bust of former US President Kennedy on the back. By pressing Kennedy's chest, they could even hear the summary of the famous speech "I am a Berliner" by the assassinated former president. Once Kennedy coins were issued, collectors quickly took action to collect the vast majority of these strange coins.
9. German wood banknote
The money of wood material is also drunk. It is estimated that it will disappear when you hold it. It is too unreliable. Woody banknotes may have tormented wallets, but they have also become one of the most creative measures taken by the German government to reshape the German economy after World War I. This practice did not come to an end until the National Bank of Germany came back to life. Imagine the scene when the German people were shopping and carrying a pile of wood. The picture was so beautiful that they didn't dare to see it;
10. Beninese marijuana coin
It's also on the list that everyone yells at "marijuana". Does it not encourage drug abuse? That's enough. Only Beninese can make marijuana on coins. Beninese is a country in South Central West Africa. It used to be a French colony. They still use the West African Franc. I think it's addictive. I don't dare to try it;
