Taxi money


I did not know it existed, but today for the first time I saw ‘taxi money’. What happened is that the taxi driver from the Dazhong taxi company did not have change for a 100 RMB note. Therefore he handed out taxi vouchers that looked remarkably like real money. They have a value of RMB 10 each, and can be used for Dazhong’s buses, taxi’s and transportion vans. They even have a bar code on there to make sure they are real. Not that this helps much, because the taxi driver did not have a bar code reader in his car. The owners of Dazhong are quite smart: they not only print their own money but earn additionally by putting ads on it (the back is an ad for gas stoves and heaters).
