Recently, Mr. Fei from Leshan, Sichuan Province, said that at the end of last month, he withdrew 1,500 yuan from the bank ATM, and when he took out the money more than 20 days later to buy things and go to the banquet to catch up with the gifts, he found that there were six money-counting exercise coupons. He said that after the money was withdrawn, he kept it at home and did not touch it, and suspected that the six money-counting exercise coupons were included when he took them out of the ATM, and hoped that the bank would give an explanation.
On December 26, witnessed by the local police and the media, Mr. Fei saw the bank's surveillance video when he withdrew his money, and confirmed that the money he withdrew from the ATM was fine, and there was not a single money counting exercise coupon. Mr. Fei agreed, but he couldn't understand what went wrong and why some of the real money he took out became a money-counting exercise coupon......
The bank branch involved
The man proclaimed:
Took $1,500 from the ATM
More than 20 days later, it was found that there were 6 money-counting exercise coupons
On November 30, Mr. Fei from Feichao Village, Taiping Town, Shawan District, Leshan City, came to the business office of the Postal Savings Bank in the town, and he thought that he would need to catch up with gift money for a banquet of relatives and friends next month, so he withdrew some cash from the ATM. Mr. Fei withdrew a total of 1,500 yuan in two tranches, both with a face value of 100 yuan.
"After I took the money, I kept it in my clothes bag in the closet. Mr. Fei said that until December 24, his family was killing pigs, he took out 4 of the money and told his sister to tell her to wait for the pig slaughterer, he took 3 to the street to buy things, and the rest was ready to go to the gift, but when he bought things to pay, he was reminded to find out that it was actually a money counting practice coupon.
Mr. Fei told the Red Star News reporter that 2 of the 3 pieces he took were money-counting exercise coupons, the 4 pieces he gave to his sister were money-counting practice coupons, and the remaining 8 at home were all real money, "Fortunately, I found it in time, or I would just laugh at people if I didn't give it to others to catch up with the gift!"
The Red Star News reporter saw that the 6 money-counting exercise coupons in Mr. Fei's hand were all red in color, and they were indeed very similar to the RMB 100-yuan banknote at a glance, but the front of the money-counting practice coupons was the pattern of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and the face of the ticket was printed with the words "special coupon for the banknote counting practice technology competition" and "prohibited circulation".
Mr. Fei's money counting exercise coupon
According to Mr. Fei's recollection, when he withdrew the money, he only counted the correct number of money, and at that time he was still thinking that these coins were all new money, so he didn't take them one by one to look at them carefully, and he didn't touch them when he took them home, and he didn't know why they became money-counting exercise coupons. With doubts, he found the branch of the Postal Savings Bank in the town and hoped that the bank would give an explanation.

The money withdrawn is no problem, there is no money counting exercise coupons
He said he didn't know which link went wrong
In response to Mr. Fei's question, the bank denied that the six money-counting exercise coupons were flowing from the bank's ATM. Mr. Fei said that the bank staff told him that the money he withdrew had a serial number, and the ATM would never spit out this kind of money (counting coupons).
On December 25, the bank staff called the police, hoping to investigate the source of the six money-counting exercise coupons with the help of the police at the police station. After checking the bank's surveillance video, the police informed Mr. Fei that the 1,500 yuan in cash he took out was real money, and his money may have been transferred in the process of custody.
But Mr. Fei said that it was hard for him to believe that he was transferred after taking out the 1,500 yuan real banknote, and he had never seen such a money counting exercise coupon before.
On December 26, witnessed by the local police and the media, Mr. Fei saw the bank's surveillance video as he withdrew his money. The video shows that after he took out the money, he counted it one by one, and it was clearly visible in the surveillance that each banknote had a real banknote pattern, and there was no pattern on the banknote counting exercise coupon.

According to the bank staff, every piece of money deposited and withdrawn by the ATM will record the serial number, which is equivalent to the ID card of RMB, and the serial number of each piece of money is different. After the incident, the bank retrieved 15 serial numbers that Mr. Fei had withdrawn that day, and randomly selected one of Mr. Fei's remaining cash notes and found that the serial number was indeed among them.
In this regard, Mr. Fei expressed his approval and confirmed that the money withdrawn from the ATM was fine, and there was no money counting coupons. But he couldn't figure out what went wrong in the link, and why some of the real money he took out became a money-counting exercise ticket. Since there were no other clues, he didn't plan to dig deeper.
