Kenya's central bank has warned people against using banknotes to make floral-like bouquets and decorations, which has become a trend in the East African nation.
They are often ordered in the run-up to Valentine's Day - and have been popularised by celebrities and online influencers, who share videos of themselves presenting such bouquets during celebrations.
To make the cash bouquets, notes of different colours and value are rolled and then fastened together in a style that makes them look like a bunch of flowers.
But the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) says the creators are defacing the Kenyan currency and could face seven years in jail if arrested.
According to the CBK, the banknotes tend to be "folded, rolled, glued, stapled, pinned or otherwise affixed using adhesives or fastening materials... compromising their integrity".
