This is ridiculous. The notes must be of very inferior quality. Either put an end to this silly custom and encourage well-wishers at a wedding to give gifts, or produce notes that are more durable. Those small denomination notes are of very little value anyway. Donating bananas would make more sense!

Just give them a serious warning. To lock people up for this offense is the abuse of people. May be we should stop giving money at the wedding all together.

Alternatively, we should start thinking of celebrating these things without flashing cash all over the place. It’s possible. I mean, how did they celebrate it before the banknotes came into our economy before the colonialists came on the scene? Just saying

Maybe they should stop issuing those laughably low values notes. The lowest note in the USA is worth about the highest note in Malawi.

Did you you that gas welders are using the old ten kwacha coins for welding. They Knock off the metal in the middle of the coin and use it for welding. Actually they do that so openly. The buy ten kwacha coins for twenty kwacha each. They say it is cheaper than buying welding electrodes. Go and find out.
