A Chinese netizen posted on his microblog that one of his colleagues received six counterfeit notes when he withdrew 1,000 yuan (US$ 159) cash from the China Merchants Bank ATM at the Jiangan center in Beijing on Feb. 22, according to 21st Century Net.

The victim went to China Merchant Banks to complain the next day. The bank asked to see the counterfeit money, which the man produced. The bank said since the man had waited a day to complain, they had no way to verify the cash was from their ATM. The man said he hadn't noticed the cash was fake until he got home because he was in a rush.

The netizen posted a screenshot of China Merchants Bank's response to his friend. The bank said that all cash in the bank's ATMs are screened by a machine and then again by bankers, to ensure the cash is genuine.

The post has incited discussion among netizens, with many saying they had also come across fake money at some point, including at major banks.

Top 10 nude models in China

Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot . However, even though the Chinese have gotten more at ease with the idea of modeling in the nude since 1928, it still remains quite the controversial career path to take in China. Every time some nude picture appears, the public nudity debate gets stirred up again and sometimes violence may even ensue. Some think that it's shameful and the models just get naked for the so-called sake of art to make easy-money and ...
