Hidden Things on Paper Receipts
Did you know paper receipts have small secrets? These secrets are there on purpose. They stop bad people from making fake receipts.
Many people now use e-receipts. But paper receipts still have these clever things.
There are two fun secrets to find:
Hidden Animals: Each receipt has a small animal picture. The animal matches the Chinese zodiac for that year. Each time, the animal's pose is different. The animals never repeat in different years!
You can see:
A rabbit for July-August (7-8月)
Another rabbit in different movement for September-October (9-10月)
A dragon for November-December (11-12月)
Wrong Words: Every receipt has one word with a small mistake. A tiny line is missing from one word. This changes each time and can be on the front or back of the receipt.
You can see:
"依" missing a dot (7-8月)
"寫" missing a line (9-10月)
Someone found these secrets. They told their friends. Everyone thought it was fun!
They wrote online about it. They said, "We look for hidden animals and wrong words on receipts. It's like a game!"
Only paper receipts have these secrets. E-receipts don't have them.
People said:
"I didn't know this before."
"Now I want to check my receipts!"
Look at your receipts. Can you find the hidden animal or wrong word?
