Maybe they think in that way it will reduce the number of infected cases in their country, and I think it helped. Because we all know that money is one of the dirtiest things and can be the carrier of the said or any viruses. They just showed that human life is still more important than anything else.
thats sick . are they too bright to think of that idea and they are the only one that think of it because others dont burned down thier fiats but they can be able to control the virus. is south korea rich enough that they are only burning thier money ? . its funny and proudful at the same time because they represent the saying that money is not important . money is dirty because it circulates anywhere but like any other things money can be dis infected too with some of the know methods that i saw online. no need to burn it
It was really much better if the government is responsible for doing that. After a person deposits his money into the bank, then his savings should be in a digital form, so that the paper money can be burned without wasting it. You just waste the material but not the value of it.
In that case, they should engage in a more technological market where they will perform transactions using only digital money.
That should be their approach towards this Covid-19 pandemic, instead of paper money, they should allow the regulation of only digital money, so that cryptocurrency can be also promoted in their country.
