Many of us claim that our money disappears before we get a chance to spend it, but this is a little extreme.
German officials are trying to figure out how some 1,500 euro bank notes were contaminated with acid, sometimes causing the bills to disintegrate.
Imagine getting your money from an ATM and having it fall apart in your hands. Quite the conundrum. There is appearantly speculation that it could be a quasi-terror bid in efforts to upset the German economy, but officials are saying that they believe the bills were contaminated by cash dispensing machines. The machines are scheduled for inspection and will be replaced if they are found to be the source of the contamination.
