Mzansi is left in fits of laughter after a man flaunted a bizarre version of the R10 note that looks more like a cartoon prop than real currency on one side.

The video, shared by @olwethu.mbambo, showcased the fake money, which had an exaggerated side and almost comical features, leaving viewers questioning how it even existed.

As expected, Mzansi didn’t hold back their reactions; many joined in on @olwethu.mbambo's humour and added their hilarious comments.

While the note's origin remains unclear, one thing is for sure—Mzansi knows how to find humour in even the most bizarre situations!

One user, @user5352789737762, couldn’t contain their amusement, poking fun at the rhino, a symbol usually seen on the real R10 note, but here looking more like a cartoon character:

"😂😂😂Kanti i rhino boy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"

@Thobile Chloe underscored the sheer absurdity of the fake note:

"Cela ungiphe leyo R10 ngzoknika eyangempela 😭" [Please give me that R10; I’ll give you a real one in return.]

@Ntokozo Gcabashe likened the rhino on the note to a character from the popular children's show Cocomelon. This highlighted just how playful and cartoonish the fake note appeared:
