New Trinidad & Tobago $ money polymer notes

[redmanjp]

So businesses get a 2 working day extension- make sense if they are accepting old bills on or around 31st December.

[toyota2nr]

No reason to extend the deadline from the 31st December. Operations has been affected slightly, nothing to fuss about. The pros of the exercise far outweighs the cons.

You would not die from standing up in a line too long. I will actually improve your circulation.

Tell that to the old lady who actually died from standing in a line...idiot

Pastor asks Central Bank: ‘$29m in polymer bills, please’


MINUTES before the deadline for changing old $100 bills, a 65-year-old pastor from Chaguanas tried to change $29 million in cash.

Newsday was told the man, who has a church in Longdenville, showed up shortly before the bank closed, with 29 copy-paper boxes, each containing $1 million.

He said the money was his personal funds.

The pastor was accompanied by his son, daughter-in-law and two attorneys. Members of the Financial Intelligence Branch (FIB) said the man had promised to come in with the cash days before and repeatedly visited the Central Bank promising to do so.

The cash was seized by FIB officers, who are working with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) on investigating it. Sgt Seecharan of the FIB is heading the investigation.

The man was not arrested, but police will seek to have him explain his source of income. Financial offences he may have committed include money laundering.

On December 5 last year, National Security Minister Stuart Young said the polymer $100 bill, which has now replaced the paper notes, would help fight money laundering and other illicit activities.

The public was mandated to change the old notes for the polymer ones by December 31. The short – two-week – timeframe for changing the old notes was to weed out money laundering and other financial crimes, the Government said.

During the early stages of the process, Young said one man, who claimed to be a barber, showed up at a bank with $1 million in old notes to exchange.

He added that since the new notes were made available, a number of unusual transactions had been flagged. He stressed that law-enforcement officers who were part of the process and were stationed on the basis of security intelligence.

Months before the announcement of the new notes, the FIU flagged 429 suspicious transactions, amounting to $749,024,557.

The cash seized on Tuesday is the largest amount ever seized by police, sources in the FIB said.

In an e-mailed response to Newsday questions on December 14, acting head of the FIU Nigel Stoddard said there was an increase in reported money-laundering activities in the third quarter last year, compared to the same period in 2018. In 2018, there were 237 reports, and 247 in 2017. The second highest figure was 300 reports in the last quarter of 2018. The figure was 179 in 2017.

if this lil nobody pastor have 29 mil imagine what the boat man pastor have. all dese flood victims in 2019 and this pastor probably ask for more donations to help or jus like the man in the USA close he doors and aint help nobody. 29 mil $ he cuda help a few people in south that get flood in dec, but they go think debe = hindu = good for dem for not acceptin jesus. wah dem men doh study is jesus 'say do good in this life for your kingdom in heaven awaits and my fathers kingdom has many palaces. ' when dese men make dey kingdom in earth there is no kingdom for them in heaven.

this money changeover show how much people have money in trinidad and does wah do like dem broken an dis time they have it in dey mattress. no more charity and donations from me anybody getting nah. all dem chruch, mosque,temple, house of gods have money yes so dem aint gettin nuttin from me again.

[pugboy]

at the end of the day it is not illegal to request church goers to pay tithe
and the govt allows churches to be untaxed
so he very well will get back plenty polymer.
