A man from Harbin, China made a costly mistake this week when he accidentally shredded thousands of yuan worth more than 4-thousand US dollars.

According to local media, Mr Ji Guangzeng was crushing plastic boxes when he accidentally poured all the cash into the pulverizer.

Unfortunately for Ji, the notes have been shredded so completely that the bank won't be able to identify them and exchange them for new notes.

Shocking footage has emerged from China of more than 3000 GBP being put into pulverizer by mistake.

The video, filmed in Harbin, Helongjiang Province on Monday, shows small pieces of cash is put in two plastic bags. The most integrated one among them is less than half a piece of cash.

According to local news, the owner named Ji Guangzeng is doing crushing plastic boxes business. As he was busy doing his work and forgot that he put all the cash and bankbook into plastic basket. He poured them inside the pulverizer and crushed them by mistake.

For the reason that the pieces of cash is too small to identify, bank cannot exchange money for him.
