<p>A Taiwanese expert spent seven days piecing together a £4,000 puzzle.</p>
<p>Liu Hui-fen was confronted with thousands of tiny paper money pieces after a businessman accidentally dumped 200,000 New Taiwan dollars (£4,000) into an industrial scrap machine.</p>
<p>Each of the 1,000 NT dollar bills was torn into 20 pieces and the man, who only gave his surname, Lin, turned to the Taiwan Justice Ministry&#8217;s investigation bureau, where Liu works, to ask for help.</p>
<p>Baffled at first by the pile of scraps in front of her, Liu soon found a way to attack the problem. She located the Chinese character &#8220;guo&#8221;, or country, on each bill, and then worked outwards.</p>
<p>When the job was finally done she said it was the most difficult she&#8217;d ever accomplished. Liu usually investigates handwriting samples, but has a special brief to work on cases dealing with damaged money &#8211; handling 247 of them in the past five years.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was so happy whenever I was able to put a piece into its right place,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Under Taiwanese law, people can claim replacement bills from the central bank as long as at least 75% of the original is pieced together.</p>
<p>Lin expressed his gratitude. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry the job brought her so much trouble,&#8221; he said.</p>
