Liu Tiefeng, a staff member at the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, repairs damaged banknotes in Changchun City, Northeast China’s Jilin Province. A local businessman left 160,000 yuan (24,000) in his garage and later discovered them covered in mildew due to rainwater leaking into the building. With more than 30 years' experience dealing with worn banknotes, Liu washed the banknotes first with tap water and then with boiling hot water. It took him about three hours to revive all the money, with the exception of one 100-yuan note that was too badly damaged to be restored. (Photo/VCG)
