      Give me some sticky tape and a few weeks off work and I might be able to peice together a few euros

    2. When they said ‘make it rain!’ I don’t think that’s what they meant.

      *However,* you could go to any parade, sprinkle the shredded notes from a balcony, and honestly say you dumped €20,000 in loose bills all over the parade.

      *Very* loose bills.

    3. This reminds me of the bags of shredded money you used to be able to buy at the US Mint gift shop.

      I got one as a kid and sat there trying to lay them all out as if they’d go back together.

    4. I’d be all over that for a puzzle. Fuck it, I’d invite my neighbours to help and pay them with reconstructed Euros.

    5. I’m pretty sure they would shred enough for like 100 of these at once, so you wouldn’t be able to arrange them all from 1 pack. Now if you somehow had all of them, and bribed the janitor to give you the bit leftover on the floor. Plus an infinite amount of time, or a machine to put them back together. Then, you’re golden.

    6. That’s nice, I found the story here:

      Basically is:Their business is the certified disposal of documents. And on behalf of the Bank of Italy, they will have to process 30,000 kg of shredded banknotes each year for four years (90 loads per year).

      And all those banknotes are probably counterfeit or suspected to be counterfeit/old banknotes/misprints/other issues.

      //Also can be bought from ebay: https://ebay.us/m/mSJ8qY saw some there

      Ha imagine the fool that got that in the Bank, realizing they actually own less things now.
