CHINESE MAN SHREDS $21,000 IN BANKNOTES

Grumpy old man shreds 140,000 yuan ($21,252) worth of banknotes into pieces.

The man's son and daughter-in-law spent three months putting together 108,000 yuan in Anshan, Northeast China's Liaoning province.

The son, surnamed Chen, said his father sold a house for 200,000 yuan last year and kept the money.

In October, father told Chen that he cut 140,000 yuan out of 200,000 yuan into pieces, in order to keep his greedy children away.

Chen was shocked and found each banknote was cut into dozens of pieces. Chen and his wife tried to repair the damage done by the father. The process took from 7 am to 12 am every day, from October to early January. In that time the couple fixed 1,080 banknotes.

Chen exchanged the damaged bank notes for new ones and deposited them with the remaining 60,000 yuan into his bank.
