When she opened the bale to grade the bags, she saw 6,000 Korean won, but mistook them for Chinese Yuan. She made a video of the currency with the caption:
“Imagine taking someone to Katangua to get bags.
“You open a bale to grade and you saw all 6,000 Yuan (1.3 million) inside the bag.”
She appreciated the owner of the bag, whom she had taken to the market, for giving her 1k from the money.
“Lo and behold the money was for her and she gave me 1,000 yuan 🥹🥹 Thank you so much ma,” she said.
However, the currency displayed in the video is from the Bank of Korea – a 1k and 5k denomination.
When converted to Naira, it amounts to N5,933.
