One month after its launch, the project is already bearing fruit. So far, over 75,000 people have registered for it through the zapomenutemiliardy.cz website. According to the creators of a computer application that searches for forgotten accounts, they found shares worth approximately 320 million crowns for them.
The search for forgotten money, for example for the 70-year-old pensioner Mrs. Danuša from the Znojmo region, already had a happy ending. Her computer application found an account for shares and dividends from them for 239 thousand crowns. “I remembered that I had not settled part of my coupon investment in the past,” said Ms. Danuse. Because it currently has no “important use” for money, it will partly save it and partly dedicate it to its grandchildren.
