Years of saved pocket change buys van in China

A man has paid for a van in China with 100,000 yuan ($14,700; £9,500) in pocket change that he gathered for years Mr Zhao, a businessman, dropped bundles of notes, none worth more than one yuan - about $0.15 - at the dealership in Jining, in northern Shandong province. Mr Zhao received the notes from customers at his printing business. He said, finding a person to accept the notes was not easy. "I held onto the money waiting to see if they would accept it so that I could buy the car. The manager of this dealership decided to accept my cash, so that was really helpful to me," he said. After hours of counting, the staff at the dealership confirmed that he had provided exact change.
