Kazakh Govt. Mispells "Bank" On Their Money - Hahahaha!

The President of Kazakhstan visited President Bush recently to discuss his country's image, and the damage done to it by Borat.  However, before you bug our President for image tips, or blame a comedian for all your PR problems, maybe the first step to repairing Kazakh's image is to fix up things at home.  Little things, like... I don't know... uh... oh, yes: mispelling the word "bank" on your money.

Hilariously enough, not only does their new currency contain an amazing mispelling of the word "bank," but their treasury wants to put more of these bills into circulation, then phase them out in November.  I hate to think how other aspects of the Kazakh government work.  Do their firemen start by spraying gasoline on the fires, then come back a week later with the firehose?  Do cops let a bank robber get a crime spree "out of his system," before arresting him months later?

Borat couldn't buy this kind of publicity.  And even if he could, he'd be using silly money with spelling errors on it.  Even Monopoly money is spell-checked.
