Money Cat of the Day: China’s central bank was moved to issue an official statement of denial after Chinese microbloggers began widely circulating a claim that three cats were found hidden in the pattern of the 100-yuan note.
“I always thought only Chairman Mao was printed on today’s notes. Actually, our banknotes are so cartoonish and adorable,” a Weibo user is quoted as saying.
The People’s Bank of China, not wanting to appear affable, sought to quash the rumors with a non-feline explanation for the cat-like glyphs. It seems they were based on nondescript decorations found on lacquerware from the Warring States Period (476-221 BC).
“Someone imagined the patterns as three cats and drew the profile with a marker to mislead the public,” the bank said in its statement.
Sorry, guys. Cannot be unseen.
