‘Money doesn’t count!’ - The Friar

Think that counting money is done the same way all over the world, well think again, counting money is done very differently depending on where you are. This video shows how counting money is done in Japan, Korea, China and Singapore, then in Afghanistan,Iran,India, Tajikistan and the Middle East, then in Russia, Mongolia, Poland and Eastern Europe, then in Turkmenistan, Kazakistan, Pakistan, and parts of Turkey, then in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and Egypt, then in Africa, then in America, Canada and England.

Interesting differences in the counting styles of the different countries, who would of known that there are hugh cultural differences in money counting!

I shall make available to you materials and information with which a successful claim shall be placed on the fund. I shall be your guidance and instructor throughout the duration of this transaction so as to ensure a swift and sure transfer of the fund to your bank account.

As to your benefits, you shall be entitled to 40% of this fund for your co-operation in this transaction while 5% will be set aside for expenses both of us incured during the course of this transaction.
