Releasing cash for ChuseokSecurity firm workers move cash bundles at the Bank of Korea in Seoul on Sept. 10, 2019, as the central bank supplies funds to commercial banks to meet rising cash demand for Chuseok, the Korean harvest holiday that falls on Sept. 13 this year. (Yonhap)
The below article actually doesn’t surprise me considering how I have accidentally dropped money before and had people return it to me on the street. It is good to see how honest people can be even when it involves thousands of dollars of money:
Korean news sources have reported that a woman dumped W22 million cash (US$19, 030) in Seoul Square and not one single person stopped to pick any of it up.
According to reports, the stunt was largely ignored with no one stopping to collect any of the hundreds of bank notes that littered the area. Instead, many simply gave the scene a passing glance or stopped to take photos – but none of the free cash. [10Mag]
