Man buys car with 300kg of coins
A businessman wants to buy a car with coins in China.
The flour trader, surnamed Wang, arrived in his van at a car shop in Xianyang city of Shaanxi province on Aug 1.
He opened the boot and carried down seven sacks of coins - with various face values - to pass it to the dealer.
"I want to buy a car. I have 60,000 yuan (RM27,756) cash," he said, adding the coins weighed some 300kg.
Wang said he collected around 10,000 yuan (RM4,626) of coins each month from his clients that include bread shop owners and noodle manufacturers.

The car dealer had trouble finding a bank to receive the unusual payment, as counting it was not easy.
Finally, he found one bank that agreed to receive just 15,000 yuan (RM6,940) of the coins.
Meanwhile, Wang is still waiting for other banks to help him deposit the money into the dealer's account.
