Young men in Nairobi have devised new ways to survive in the city amid the high cost of living.

A young man was filmed painting 1 bob coins with yellow nail polish(cutex) and making them look like 10 bob coins.

He had several 1 bob coins which he was painting using the quitex.

He does it perfectly, making it hard to tell whether the coins are fake.

The fake coins are already in circulation.
