The video, believed to have been filmed in a local community, shows the man confidently handing over the foreign coin to a vendor. He gave her 20 Canadian dollars worth GH¢20.54.

To his utter amusement, the pure water vendor sold the item to him without noticing that he had given her foreign currency instead of the usual one cedi coin.
