DIRTY MONEY. A Caucasian man and the cashier of a bakery created some stir among the customers of the bakery over an old and dirty P20 bill. The Caucasian refused to accept the dirty bill and got irked when the cashier said: “You are demanding too much.”

GERMS-LADEN BANKNOTE. The Caucasian man said establishments serving food should not circulate “rotten and smelly” banknotes, which are laden with germs. He said the Central Bank should collect all dirty peso bills and replace them with new ones.
