Never throw away the money because it has been damaged or worn out. As long as it has a serial number, it is still valid.
Otherwise money is the property of the state.

Kenya ๐ฐ๐ช is preparing to drill its first development well in the Turkana oil fields, marking a major step toward commercial oil production.
The country aims to produce its first oil by December 2026, starting at 20,000 barrels per day before increasing to 50,000 barrels per day from 2031.
Progress comes after the government approved the development plan and Gulf Energy took over the South Lokichar project from Tullow Oil, helping move the long-delayed project forward.
