Bolivia Destroys Cash Dropped in Plane Crash

Bolivian authorities are now investigating the theft of millions of bolivianos that were scattered when a Bolivian Air Force plane crashed, as the death toll from the accident has risen to at least 22. Police and central bank officials have been collecting and burning banknotes that fell from the aircraft, while some residents near the crash site protest that the money should support the local community instead of being destroyed. Officials argue the notes must be destroyed to stop illegal use and protect Bolivia’s currency system.
