About this item: This 250 Dinar note is easily my most popular piece of foreign currency. It's hard to find a modern piece with as much history or notoriety. Adorned with a prominent portrait of Saddam Hussein, these notes were in circulation in 2003 when the U.S toppled the Iraqi regime. Many soldiers took some home as trophies and many outside of the military purchased a few as mementos of a bygone era. This is one of the few items that is at least as popular with non-collectors as with collectors. And it's east to understand why.

These notes were printed midway between the first and second American wars with Iraq, and their hist spans both. Prior to the first Gulf War, the Iraqi Dinar was worth several dollars, but the war and ensuing sanctions devastated Iraq's economy and the value of its currency. As the dinar's plunge continued, the government was forced to print ever higher denominations of banknotes. The sanctions were so pervasive, that by the time this 250 dinar note was issued in 1995, even banknote quality paper was unavailable within Iraq. These notes were printed on the locally available thin, low quality paper, which was all that was available to the government.

These notes feature Saddam Hussein's portrait and the National Stadium on an Arabic front, and cave drawing from Iraq's distant past on an English back.

International customers welcome.
