A businessman used 16 buckets of coins which were worth more than £17,000 (150,000 RMB) to pay for the deposit of a property in eastern China.

In the video, filmed in Jinan City in Shandong Province on Wednesday (May 29), more than 20 employees pour the coins out of the buckets and count them on the floor.

According to reports, the workers separated the coins in different values and packed every £230 (2000RMB) in a bag, then weighted them on the scale.

They finally finished the counting work after three hours.

The man said he got the coins from his grocery business and saved them in the water buckets.

The property was worth £49,000 (430,000RMB) and the man paid £17,000 as a deposit.

15万元的硬币堆在一块是啥景象,想想似乎有点阿里巴巴发现宝藏的感觉。

5月29日下午,济南一位杂货老板就带着15万多的硬币来到济南金科城售楼处买房子。15万多元的硬币让整个售楼处都成了钱的海洋.

据接待这位市民的置业顾问小李介绍,29日下午差不度六点半,这位市民带着硬币来到售楼处,所有硬币都装在大矿泉水水桶里,整整带来了16桶。“这位顾客买了一套总价43万的公寓,15万多元的硬币只是首付款。”小李介绍,这位顾客自称是做杂货生意的,平时做生意收的硬币都攒了起来,除了运来售楼处的15万多,家里还有十几万。

从下午六点半开始,售楼处调来20多位工作人员数硬币,15万多元的硬币以一元为主,还有五角和一角的。“所有硬币堆在售楼处大厅里,场面煞是壮观,从来都没见过这么多硬币。”小李介绍,所有人从傍晚数到晚上9点多,才把硬币数完。“总共十五万八千元,准确说不是数出来的,而是称出来的。”小李介绍,工作人员把所有硬币按照面额分类,数出2000元后,又分别称重,才最终把总额度计算了出来。
