Hungarians Burn Money Bricks For Heat as Severe Europe Winter Continues
The Hungarian Central Bank is giving away money bricks to burn for heat. Used banknotes are regularly incinerated by the central bank but now they are putting the shredded money to good use. The shredded banknotes are turned into brick for fuel!
“Every year, we withdraw about a quarter of all banknotes from circulation or around 200 billion forints. Until now, we hand been incinerating them, but because they burn so well we are now reproccessing them as fuel,” said a central bank spokesman.
Around five tons of money bricks are now being distributed each week to be burned by hard-up families for heat. This enables them to save their own money for other basic necessities.
