In China, there was an incident in which a bill was put in a microwave and burned to disinfect Corona 19.

On the 6th, according to the Internet media Pengpai, a middle-aged customer asked the Agricultural Bank branch in Xuhui District, Shanghai on the 4th, to ask if he could pick up the exchanged bills and exchange them.

The customer's bills totaled 54, including 100 yuan, 50 yuan, and 10 yuan, which is nearly 2,000 yuan (about 340,000 won).

After the bankers checked the burnt notes for nearly an hour, the customer returned about half a million yuan for new money.

The customer found that after going to the traditional market, he started the microwave oven and burned the bills, disinfecting, worrying that the money might have corona19 virus.

On the fifth day, a similar customer from another agricultural bank branch in Xuhui District also asked for exchange notes.

Bank officials say they are thoroughly sterilizing and managing the cash returned to the bank after the Corona 19 crisis. The yuan banknotes are printed with oil dyes and have anti-counterfeiting metal strips, making it extremely dangerous to put them in the microwave.

In fact, the Chinese government has tightened banknote management to prevent corona19.

The People's Bank issued guidelines to disinfect the cash recovered through each commercial bank in the 'Sickness Dissemination Area' and re-deliver it to customers only after 14 days of storage.

The currency in areas where the spread of Corona 19, such as Wuhan, was serious, was harvested and broken down, and the priesthood was supplied in large quantities.

The Chinese government is also encouraging people to actively use electronic payment methods, such as Alipay, as the Corona19 spreads.

In China, one of the most developed electronic payment countries in the world, electronic payment methods through QR code recognition are very common in everyday life.

However, some people still prefer cash payments, especially among middle-aged and elderly.
