A Chinese farmer has bought a new truck with ten bundles of cash, which took 25 bank clerks over half a day to count.

Li Zuoguang, a farmer in Guang'an City in southwest China's Sichuan Province, carried ten packages of small change to a local car sales company last Saturday to buy the truck, according to Tuesday's Beijing Morning Post.

The company sent all the packages to a local bank, where 25 employees finally tallied Li's cash after counting for more than half a day.

The ten packages of small changes were valued at over 70,000 yuan (8,464 U.S. dollars).
