Euro confetti used at wedding from defective bills only

Sète, a beach town near Montpellier in the southwest of France, was the scene of a municpal scandal due to a lavish wedding on July 8th. Guests attending the wedding of a successful local businessman threw 1 kilogram of confetti made of defective Euro bills to wish success to the new married couple. Local residents are upset over this 'amoral' use of fake bills. "Normally, the Bank of France shreds them and puts them in the trash," said a representative of the family. "Here at least we get pretty colours and don't have to pick up grains of rice." Local teenager argues "I could have taped those pieces together and sold them on Ebay."
