'Coin recycling' costs Bundesbank millions

摘要

Germany's central bank - the Bundesbank - has allegedly been scammed for millions with a scheme involving the recycling of damaged Euro coins that had been sent to China as scrap metal. The scam unravelled when a stewardess on a Lufthansa airplane was reportedly found by customs officers with thousands of coins in her bag. Six people have been arrested - four of whom are from China.
