>When I read that, I found that quite funny too - suddenly finding you have 55 billion more than you thought. As in, "Hey, I found a 20-cent piece, I wasn't even aware it was in my pockets."

Wasn't there a Belgian prime minister few years ago, who found 2 million euros in the safe when he took office, and nobody was able to tell him where did these come from. So he said he destroyed the money, as I heard (but then that was about seven years ago - maybe one of resident Belgians here can correct me).
