    Local proof of this:

    Paying a fine in cents

    A local artist received a 15000 LTL (now unused currency, now 4350 EUR) fine for calling in a fake bomb threat at his friend’s wedding. He proceeded to pay it in cent coins, which weighed 700 kilos.

    Regarding promissory notes, they are definitely a thing, also known as a note payable, two people agree that x will pay y with a certain amount and interest and it is as good as money, but you can’t just randomly write one up.

      But is his promise note actually a promissory note? Or is it some sovcit bullshit to avoid banks?

        It’s only a promissory note if the bank agrees and signs it too.

        I suppose he will try to make a fake promissory note and try to give it to the bank.
