The bank that couldn't spell straight
Kazakhstan's central bank is to issue new banknotes despite a spelling error.From the BBC.The notes bear Kazakh writing in Cyrillic letters, but the word "bank" is misspelt using an alternative Kazakh form of the letter K.
MPs wrote to President Nursultan Nazarbayev urging him to tell the bank not to circulate the notes.

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for that issue to start trading at above its face value. That'll depend in part on the size of the issue, of course.
