These people are very superstitious, they rather believe in shaman than religious scholar or educated scholar, let the idiots do whatever they want.

Superstitions what? Where exactly did the superstition come from? Anything the virus touch could normally become a possible source of infection, so them taking precautionary measures isn't anything wrong imo. Even if it may not be the main way of transmission, it is still completely possible. Just like how it is said in various articles, the virus could rest itself on armrests of airplanes and the like, so why can't money be a possible one?

It's kind of a good way to prevent it, but without any major cleanups around the countries involved, it'd only be a temporary stop-gap or something similar. It'd still spread, but probably not through the banknotes released by them. Plus, the banknotes are in a sense, just paper. They can just reprint it, they are the banks after all. And it won't affect their economy whatsoever because the replaced banknotes were burned, so it couldn't be used anymore.

Superstitious people are panaroid, theyre exaggerating by burning paper money, being a civilised nation one should never easily resort into open burning, may be theyre not civilised as we thought, and its very gentle to called them superstitious, because theyre publicly announcing to burn the virus to dead, and the virus that barely kill a dozen of people, and mainly a FUD attempt to downplay some economy.
