Your government could be worse

You could live in Kazakhstan, after all.

Last November, the central bank of Kazakhstan released new bank notes with the work "bank" misspelled on them. Yeah, they don't even know how to spell their own name in their own language. In Cyrillic, they apparently spelt it "banq" instead.

How's that for government incompetence?

They've gradually culled them out of circulation, but it isn't fast enough for some Kazakhs. Language is a touchy issue there, since the last few generations were forced to use Russian in official transactions, etc.
