Kazakhstan Misspells “Bank” on National Currency
OMG. I swear this isn’t Borat causing trouble again. This is fo reals, yo. MSNBC reported today that Kazakhstan’s bank misspelled the word “bank” on their newly printed currency. MSNBC reports:
The bank plans to put the misprinted notes — worth 2,000 tenge ($15) and 5,000-tenge — into circulation in November and then gradually withdraw them to correct the spelling.
Um, wow…it’s just too easy.

There are calls for the notes to be destroyed over here, from politicians. The original plan was to put them into circulation, then phase them out over several months and replace with correctly spelt ones.
The head guy in charge of the process is in hot water, especially after one of his early responses - Spelling error? What spelling error? There is no spelling error, it only looks like that from certain angles… Deny, deny, deny, hide for cover ;>
