After the Sichuan man withdrew money, he found that some of it had become money-counting exercise coupons, and the bank's monitoring showed that there was no problem with the withdrawal
In Leshan City, Sichuan, after a man withdrew 1,500 yuan in cash from a bank ATM, he found six money-counting exercise coupons more than 20 days later. He suspected that he had taken out the ATM with the six money-counting exercise vouchers, so he asked the bank for an explanation. However, the bank denied that the six money-counting exercise coupons were sent out from the bank's ATM. He approached the Postal Savings Bank branch with questions to seek an explanation, but the bank staff said that the ATM machine would not spit out money-counting exercise coupons, and that each piece of money withdrawn had a serial number record.
The police also intervened in the investigation, revealing the truth in surveillance video. The bank staff called the police and hoped that the police would assist in investigating the source of the money counting exercise vouchers, and the police checked the bank's surveillance video and informed Mr. Fei that the 1,500 yuan in cash he took out was real money, and it may have been transferred in the process of custody. Mr. Fei watched the surveillance video of the withdrawal in the presence of the local police and the media, which clearly showed that every banknote Mr. Fei took out was genuine, and there were no counting coupons. Despite this, he was still puzzled as to why some of the real money he had taken out had turned into counting vouchers. Due to the lack of other clues, Mr. Fei said that he did not intend to further investigate the matter.
Practice banknotes, also known as banknote counting practice coupons or banknote counting coupons, are a simulated currency used by bank employees or financial personnel to practice Xi banknote counting skills. They are often similar to real money in color, size, and feel, but have distinct differences to prevent being mistaken for legal tender. Practice banknotes are usually printed with the words "special coupon for money counting practice technology competition", "prohibited from circulation", as well as different patterns, such as the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, to distinguish them from the actual currency. These vouchers are usually only used within banks or at relevant financial training institutions to train employees on how to identify and count currencies quickly and accurately.
Mr. Fei's account of the situation has attracted widespread attention and raised questions about the safety and trustworthiness of the bank's business. Although both the bank and the police have denied the issue of the origin of the banknotes, the incident highlights some of the security concerns in banking operations. Banks should further strengthen monitoring and safeguards for ATM withdrawals to ensure that every transaction is secure. At the same time, it is also necessary to remind the general public to carefully check when withdrawing money and reflect problems in a timely manner to protect their rights and interests.
We should be objective about this incident, rather than blaming the bank or others for the problem. In modern society, science and technology are developed, personnel are complex, and security risks will follow. As ordinary citizens, we should raise our awareness of security precautions, and at the same time, maintain a certain level of trust in banks and other institutions. I hope that similar incidents will not happen again, and I wish Mr. Fei can find a satisfactory answer.
