A Ugandan woman has sparked stunned social media this weekend, revealing that money left to her by her late grandfather turned out to be a stash of old banknotes that are no longer in circulation.
The woman, who identifies herself as “La Trophy” on TikTok, shared her experience in a video, explaining how she discovered the unexpected inheritance.
She said her grandfather, who passed away last year, left her a stash of money, which she happened to receive this week.
“My grandfather left a will indicating that he left me some money which he had saved. Today I got the opportunity to receive my inheritance and I was shocked to see these notes I had never seen.”
“Most of the people including myself have only known the current Ugandan bank notes. I was not aware of the past demonetised notes,” she said.
The woman says the money had been kept safely by her grandfather, who did not operate a bank account.
She said she hoped to go to the Bank of Uganda and exchange it.
