How a man tried to exchange souvenir money
A 36-year-old woman handed a 500-ruble souvenir banknote to a 46-year-old friend so that he could change it.
Initially knowing that the banknote was a souvenir, the woman first sent a friend to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
The pharmacy did not accept the banknote because there was no change. Then the owner of the note sent a friend to the bank.
The bank teller realized that the bill was not real and refused to exchange it, subsequently reporting it to the police.
The man was detained. It turned out that he did not know that the banknote was a souvenir. A criminal case of fraud was opened against the woman who deceived him.
