You missed my point and I don't think it's a stretch, especially if you don't understand their culture. A better analogy would be if you would return a sack of $100 in nickels, I think most people would leave it. I'm not too familiar myself but if the entire country has moved on to mobile payments, people would be less inclined to return obsolete forms of money. Perhaps someone more familiar can explain better.
- sonnyblarney 7y agoI didn't miss your point, I disagree with it. I believe people in China understand very well what paper money is and means, in roughly/ballpark the same terms as Americans. I could be wrong.
- pests 7y agoNo one is questioning that China understands paper money. The question is do they store this paper money is wallets? Or is it carried in a pocket? Or do they have full sized binders the money is put in? Or fanny packs? Do they even carry cash anymore?
- sonnyblarney 7y agoThey use wallets, paper money just like the rest of us. Though there's a recent phenom of 'cashless', cash is still normative, moreover, this is a very recent thing. A 'wallet' in China is the the same thing as a 'wallet' in the USA or Sweden.
- pests 7y agoI know that. Or at least assumed that. I just wanted to clarify what my GP was asking as I felt people were taking it too literal. Like how women in the US carry purses. I've never been to another country. Do all cultures use purses? If they do is it both genders or only one? I don't know.
- tindrum 7y agoObviously you missed his points. People in China nowdays care little about paper money, especially small money.
