Smuggling Attempt at Brest Border: 300 Silver Coins Seized

A Belarusian woman faces potential penalties after customs officials at the Brest border crossing discovered 300 undeclared silver coins in her vehicle. The coins, along with a collection of other foreign currency, were concealed in a factory-made car bag. A customs official stated, "The woman, 62, did not declare the coins and attempted to use the green corridor." The coins, some dating back over a century, have an estimated value of 36,000 Belarusian rubles. An administrative investigation is underway, with the potential for fines and the confiscation of the coins and vehicle. This incident highlights the importance of declaring all goods when crossing international borders.
