A Dutch woman who accidentally flushed 900 euros (714 pounds) down the toilet got her money back after workers fished the bank notes from the drain.
The woman from the eastern town of Oldenzaal had just withdrawn 1,000 euros in 100-euro bills to spend on her forthcoming holiday. Nine of the notes slipped out of her back pocket and into the toilet bowl while she was relieving herself.
Realising what she had done, she called the local council. "At first my colleagues were dumbfounded, but as the woman was in such a panic they believed her," said a spokesman for the local sewage department.
Using a mini-camera designed to detect blockages in drains and sewers, workers were able to find the nine bank notes, one of which had floated 15 metres (50 ft) from the house.
The woman hung the bills out to dry before heading off on holiday with her family.
