Cash hidden under bed grows mold

A woman, surnamed Ma, discovered that 200,000 yuan ($29,400) in cash she had hidden under her parents' bed for three years in Chengdu's Wenjiang district had become covered in mold. Ma managed to exchange the money, which she had planned to use to buy a house, for about 190,000 yuan at a local bank. The bank clerk serving Ma reportedly vomited while counting the money due to its terrible stench.
