河南洛阳一发电厂以废旧的钞票代替煤燃烧发电，严肃的行为在网上却引起广大网民竞相调侃。

The power plant in Luoyang, central Henan Province, is burning old and damaged banknotes instead of coal - the first time this has been done in China, the official Xinhua news agency reports. The plant says one ton of notes can produce more than 600 kWh of electricity, and is better for the environment than burning coal. The country's central bank, the People's Bank of China, has given permission for the notes to be burned, and says it's an efficient way to make electricity. With the province's unused paper money the company "can help generate 1.32 million kWh of electricity a year, which is equal to burning 4,000 tons of coal", a member of staff at the bank tells Xinhua.

中部河南省洛阳市发电厂用废旧损毁的纸币代替煤燃烧发电--这一事件在中国国内尚属首例，新华社官方报道称。该发电厂说，一吨纸币可产生600千瓦时的电力，而且比起烧煤来说，这对环境更好。中央银行-中国人民银行允许该发电厂燃烧这些纸币，并称这是一种发电的有效方式。用该省的废旧纸币，该公司一年能生产一百三十二万千瓦时的电，这相当于燃烧4000吨的煤。

Banknotes which are taken back from circulation after being worn out by handling or other damage are most commonly used to make paper products, according to the Dahe Daily news website. The idea of setting fire to the city's cash has amused Chinese social media users. "Burning money? Luoyang is such a rich city!" says one Weibo user, while another person writes: "I'm willing to go a year without electricity, please give me a pile of cash!" But one user has a craftier suggestion: "Hire me as an employee, I promise I won't take any money."

在流通中损毁的纸币被收回后通常被用于制造一些纸质的产品，大河新闻网如是说。这种用火燃烧洛阳市现金的做法使国内社交媒体用户不禁发笑。“烧钱？洛阳太有钱了！”一位微博用户说，而另一位用户则写道：“我愿意一年不用电，请给我一堆现金吧！”然而，一位用户有一个更狡猾的建议：“雇我做员工吧，我保证，我不会拿走任何钱。”
