Shocked sales staff hadn't realised that
when buyer Mr Gan said he wanted to pay
in cash - he actually meant coins.
The gas station worker paid 680,000 yuan –including 660,000 coins or around £70,000 – to a dealership in Liaoning province, east China to buy an imported Toyota Land Cruiser.
It took 10 staff members hours to unload
1,320 rolls of coins weighing an incredible
four tonnes from the back of the lorry.
It is not yet known how long it took workers to count them all up.
Local banks said that the car dealership
would have to make special arrangements
for the money to be processed.
To add insult to injury – there is likely to be
a handling charge.
The photographs have gained widespread attention online. On Chinese social media, one user wrote: "'If you didn't say it was coins I would have thought it was ammunition!" Juan Mao, a visitor to the showroom, said she was meant by a most bizarre sight. "To be honest, I could not believe what was going on.
"Great piles of wrapped money was being
taken by hand into the dealership. The staff were bringing it in in relays and it was
taking ages.
"I've heard of paying cash to get a discount
but this was taking it a bit far."

Well, cash (coins) still rules...in sane and strong economies.
I remember in 1991 or so, when N1 coin was introduced, and local businesses were swift to reject it.

Such a transaction wouldn't have been honored in naija. That man must really have done nothing other than save those coins and dreamed about purchasing that SUV.

Have we ever spend coins in naija sef that man must be alibaba's brother

If I dey work there, na to resign sure pass
