Here’s another example of how Japan is awesome. According to ABC Australian News, Japanese Police have been able to return the bulk of the $78 Million USD that was recovered in the wake of the March Tsunami. Most of the cash was discovered in wallets and safes. With safes, they numbered 5,700 that were found in the wreckage. One safe alone had $1 Million in cash! Most of the recovered cash was found by volunteers and then turned into Police.
Now you may ask, why so much cash? First off, the Japanese tend to store cash in their homes. It’s part of the culture. But in the Miyagi region, where the tsunami hit the hardest, many fisheries dealt with high amounts of cash, via transactions and even employee salaries.
