A woman innortheastern China suffered a heart attack after a taxi driver slipped a worthless "ghost bank note" in her change, mainland media reports.

The woman, surnamed Sun, from Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, told local newspaper Life News that she paid the driver a 100-yuan bill(HK$126) late at night earlier this month. The driver, whom she described as "at about 30, with cropped hair, very thin face and weak voice", gaveher 85 yuan in change, including a 50-yuan bill.

It was dark and freezing so Sun quickly put the money in her purse. Later at home, she discovered the 50-yuan bill, which was green like the realthings, was ghost money used as offerings to the dead.

Made of low-quality paper, ghost bills sometimes resemble Renminbi.
