Photo taken on May 3, 2012 shows a staff member in the Sichuan branch of Bank of China tries to splice the shreds of 50,000 yuan bank notes torn by a woman who suddenly falls ill. It took 6 hours for 12 bank clerks to successfully splice only one complete 100-yuan bank note. The money was originally meant for the woman's mental disorder treatment. [Photo/CFP]
