Apparently, having much money has its own problems.

While most people think that being rich in money solves a lot of problems, a man from Zhengzhou is currently experiencing additional problems because he has a lot of it – in coins.

The man, surnamed Zhang, is having a problem looking for banks who will be willing to exchange his coins that amount to 300,000 yuan, reports China Daily. Apparently, this is because his coins weigh more than 1,500 kilograms in total, and banks consider this amount of coins too large.

Zhang said that the coins are from washing machines and electric vehicle charging stations that he operates, both of which are coin-operated. He used to have these coins exchanged in nearby supermarkets. However, their demand for coins fell, and the coins got accumulated over two months.

In another odd news, a wedding held in the Sanxiang township of Guangdong province was mistaken for a film shooting due to the lavish and luxurious preparations that it had.

The newlyweds were spotted wearing ancient costumes, a lot of gold accessories. Luxury cars were also found nearby, reports China Daily.

The groom, coming from a rich Macao-based business family, donned the robes of an emperor while being followed by a group of groomsmen costumed as ancient soldiers.

The bride, for her part, wore about a hundred gold bracelets hanging from several strings around her neck. She also had gold hairpins on her head.

This extravagant wedding was mistaken for a filming by nearby residents.

"At first I thought someone was shooting a film, “ said a bystander.

In another, even more odd news, a gigantic motorized shoe was spotted running on the highways in Linyi city, Shandong province.

The almost ten feet-long shoe, reports Weird Asia News, is made of genuine leather, the amount of which is believed to cost its maker about $6,000 USD.

The shoe car, which has reportedly elicited various puns such as the car brand “shoe-baru,” has the capacity to run for a maximum of 250 miles on a single 4-hour charge. It can also reach speeds of up to 50 mph.
