@_amBYRON set Twitter timelines ablaze with his lucky find and stirred an interesting conversation about foreign currencies. The guy posted a picture of a 5000 Venezuelan bolívar banknote he picked up.

"Once you see a currency with so many zeros, you must know that it is toilet paper."

@_furnx tweeted:

"Venezuela with its moon high inflation? You can't buy anything with that. Roll a joint if you smoke."

5 South Africans save a combined R186 000 in just a year: A look at their saving tips

Briefly News reported that in 2022, five South Africans went viral after showing off how they saved money from January to December.

We're not talking about a couple hundred bucks - they managed to get thousands together. These money-savvy South Africans saved a combined R186 000, at the least (the one guy just showed off his stash and didn't say how much he saved, so it's more than that amount.)
