Rita, a Nigerian woman, was shocked to discover wads of Biafran pounds that her late grandfather had hidden away.
The Igbo woman claims that her grandfather, who was 103 years old, passed away 16 years ago.
She displayed the antiquated money on their balcony’s railing in a TikTok video, expressing her amazement over her grandfather’s secret stash.
“You’re dead but your money still lives on,” Rita captioned her TikTok video.
The Biafran pound was the currency of the breakaway Republic of Biafra between 1968 and 1970.
