An amusing video has emerged from China of a man who used 200 bags of coins to pay for two cars.

The footage, filmed in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province last Saturday, shows a group of staff in the garage counting the coins, using scales to weight them up.

According to local reports, more than 30 people took at least six hours to finish counting the coins, which were around £20,000 GBP in total.

Since no bank wanted to change the coins for the man, he asked the garage if he could use them to pay for the cars.

Also, because he was buying one of the cars for his wife, he thought it was romantic to pay for the car in coins.
