Cash for Crap

Postby Mulboyne » Tue Feb 22, 2005 9:27 pm

Asahi: BOJ branch flushes cash down the toilet
With the nation's economy said to be heading down the toilet, why not its currency, too? Under a recycling initiative of the Oita branch of the Bank of Japan (BOJ), a paper products maker here is turning old bank notes into toilet paper...The Oita BOJ branch annually receives about 20 million tattered bank notes, weighing in at about 20 tons, that have been removed from circulation by financial institutions. The life span of 1,000-yen notes is usually one to two years, while 5,000-yen and 10,000-yen notes circulate for two to three years.

The thought of getting ink up my ass doesn't make something high on my list of must-do things in Japan. :P

This is Oita Seishi's line up of bog roll:

Coreless is their main recycled line. Sadly, it seems you just have to "imagine" the wealth at your backside.

In their other offerings, this range could suit anime fans and foes alike...
