Yo Good Day Guys
When I come to Automatic Teller Machine to take out some cash, I hope I could get some clean new money. Sometime what happened was thing that far from my expectation, which the machine ended up sending out dirty money. I mean the money was not clean and neat, they had some stains and dirt on the paper.
But it was not the worst. The worst, or maybe not the worst but the thing that I hated most was if the money was torn. This picture was about the time I withdrew my money and found one of them was torn like this.
There is a law here that deliberately tearing the money, any Indonesian currency, you will be sentenced to jail up for 5 years prison and 60.000 USD fine. It is considered as an act that degrades the dignity of the currency.
However it is not about that law. It is about the fact that most shop will reject the money, and when you come back to the bank, they might deny to replace it too. So you will end up having a paper that worth of some money but can not be used for transaction.
The solution are not complicated, they are simple but sometime will make you end up spending for unnecessary stuffs. You can buy something from street stall or street food vendors, or you buy something that need more than one piece of that paper, in a big retail outlet.
Thanks to some digital payment such as QRIS and GOPAY, this torn paper which was never been an issue now could be pain in the ass.
Ok that's my rant today. Feel free to leave any comment and thanks for coming here. Sorry for being salty in this post.
Thank you for coming and reading my post. I live in Jakarta, Ex-Capital City of Indonesia. I used to live by making money online, that's why I like being here, on HIVE, and in #PIMP - (Paper In My Pocket) community.
