The listing, FOREIGN BANKNOTES- #133 10,000 Dinars from Iraq has ended.
This is a 2002 banknote featuring Saddam Hussein. It is of EXCELLENT quality. Has no wrinkles or tears. It was issued by the Central Bank of Iraq to be used for “larger and inter-bank transactions”. This note is rarely accepted in practice die to fears of looting and counterfeiting. This forced people to carry around stacks of 250-dinars notes for everyday use. The other smaller bills were so worthless that they largely fell into disuse. This situation meant that Iraq for the most part had only one denomination of banknote in wide circulation.
