Has anyone thought of buying some iraqi's money? They are very very cheap I heard, from US$3 before the war to fraction of a cent.

They say the watermark is a portrait of 'Chemical Ali', and the metal strip is pure uranium.....store at your own risk

onlinesid - do you want these to compliment your collection of pre-WW2 deutschemarks?

Now heres a thought.....

They could actually make a very inexpensive wall paper
.............. and if you get really lucky in a few years
time your house could turn out to be be a very valuable
Dinar store.

The House of Dinar.

Just strip the walls and head off to the bank
with your wheelbarrow.

Umm, got me thinking [^]

I did a bit more reading, I become a bit suspicious now. The dinars available on the market are valued around 2.5x of its official value.

I may still buy few for souvenir though.

I don't mind the idea in principle, but in practise be very careful who you deal with... such a niche is very conducive to less than ethical conduct.
