A businessman used 66 bags of coins to pay for a car in northern China.

The clip, filmed in Cangzhou City in Hebei Province on May 18, shows a number of workers squatting on the floor in a car shop to count the enormous pile of coins.

They spent two and a half days finishing the counting work which estimated the coins' worth to be around £15,000.

The car itself cost reported around £22,000, meaning the rest of the price was covered by card payments.

The man got the coins from his customers and wanted to spend all of them, reports said.
