So true @vickoly, especially at this time of currency redesign.

Two days ago, one of my colleagues at the workplace told me how these notes assisted him too. His story: my colleague has a 10-year-old daughter who has a habit of saving 10, 20, 50, and occasionally, 100 naira notes in an empty, large custard container. Last Saturday, he wanted to go to the market to get them some groceries but most of the shops won't receive payment in the old naira notes, and the new notes are not forthcoming. And you know most of the traders he'll interact with either do not have an account or wouldn't trust any online transaction from a stranger.

This man had to call his daughter and her mother for a negotiation, hehe. His daughter agreed to hand over her savings to save the family on the condition that whatever is found in the custard container would be returned after the naira swap is over.

To their surprise, a sum of Eleven thousand (11,000K) plus Naira was found in the container, and the family was so happy with their findings.

It was a moment of jubilation for the whole family.
