Image description: A four-story building, labeled in faded letters as a bank, is shown here. It is missing its external walls and windows. A pile of rubble and some sparse foliage is in front of the ruined building. The ruined bank reflects the ruined financial situation. Very few people use cash, as there is too much danger of theft. Business is transacted over the phone.
