Inside a packed Goodwill warehouse, you never know what you’ll find.

Mariana wasn’t expecting her sister’s cute pick-up to pleasantly shock her with what was inside.

She posted a TikTok revealing the contents of the purse.

The purse is a red beaded Hello Kitty shape with yellow strawberries.

And it’s only big enough to hold change.

“My sister found money at the thrift store,” Mariana admits.

The two unzip the Hello Kitty coin purse, and a stack of money awaits.

But it’s not American money.

While Mariana doesn’t reveal the origins of the bills inside, viewers are quick to figure it out.

One inquisitive individual asked: “Why does it look different from the other type of money?”
