A dozen years ago, when an Australian man spent $10 to buy a can of paint, he never thought that this paint can, which he almost threw away as garbage, would change his life in a decade or so! Because there's a $45000 bill hidden in it!
The old man, Tony Oz Brien, 80 years old, lives in Lightning Ridge., west of Sydney.
Twelve years ago, Mr. Tony was idle, taking part in an auction of relics and selling two 3.8 liters of paint for $10 each, ready to go home to install the house.

After the paint bought home, one day, Mr. Tony wanted to paint the house, so open one of the cans of the lid, but found that the paint was diluted with water, can not be used at all! The master thought, the other can must be the same, so he was too lazy to open, and threw the two cans directly into a corner. He always sighed that the deal was a loss.
A few years later, Uncle Tony suddenly remembered the matter and decided to open another can, perhaps not the same as the first one. It turned out to be different from the first-the second was not paint, but full of sand.
At this point, Tony was completely disappointed, spent so much money to buy two cans of things, can not be used. He was so angry that he threw the jar in the garbage in his backyard.
In the years that followed, the jar lay quietly in a pile of garbage, washed by heavy rains and scorched at high temperatures.
One day, Mr. Tony cleaned the backyard, saw the jar, and decided to throw it away with other useless things. Then think about it, forget it, keep it, if you need sand one day, it can come in handy. In this way, the jar escaped another bullet.

Not long ago, Uncle Tony came home from work and wanted to do some work with sand, so he went to the backyard to find the jar. As the wind and rain all these years, the sand inside is wet, can not pour out, the master simply took out with his hand. But as soon as he put his hand in, he immediately felt wrong. How could it be that there was something plastic under the sand?
Then, Tony took out and pulled out a plastic bag from inside, open a look, suddenly silly!
There's a big bag of money hidden in it!
One count, $5,000!
And it's all old paper money!
Not now this plastic Australian dollar!
Master Tony was so frightened that his chin was about to fall! After calming, he quickly took the bag into the room, and then spread out the already damp notes to dry. On the bed, on the carpet, on the sofa, full of money!
While waiting for the money to dry up slowly, Master Tony dared not go anywhere. He sat in a chair and looked at the room full of money, always feeling like a dream. Think of their usual mowing for others, an hour to earn $10, life is tight, the electrical appliances in the home for many years are reluctant to replace the new. All my life, suddenly I had so much money, I was a little overwhelmed.
Two days later, Master Tony took the money to the bank and exchanged it for the current Australian dollar. $5000 was enough for $45000! There are tens of thousands of dollars out of thin air, and the old man calls "unbelievable"!
Later, Mr. Tony used the money to buy himself a new refrigerator, a new stove, and an old Holden Commodore.
As for the jar, the master drew his favorite pattern and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the living room.
He also told reporters that in fact, he only wanted to buy a can of paint, but because there was no one else to bid, so he simply sold two cans, maybe this is the fate of the world.
