I was given this recently and told the person I would try to find out just what it is. I think it dates from the first gulf war or the 2003 invasion. Anyone have any ideas?   |

That is extremely interesting. I can't wait till he (above) finds the translation.

I'm afraid the only thing I can translate are the telephone numbers - there are two of them, the same numbers on both sides, though they' switch the order around. The two numbers are "513462" and "07701623300".
Googling those exact numbers reveals those were the Joint Co-Ordination Centre's dob-in-a-terrorist hotline numbers back in 2005.

Someone gave it too him, he knows I collect stuff so he gave it to me. I think it is something that was handed out by the US for something. We will know we what it says comes out. It is not on good banknote paper, so they were cheap to make.

since it was a hotline number I am guessing it was to turn in terrorists and maybe the troops would hand them out to friendly's over there and it may say that there is a 100 dollar reward for doing so and the amount it is worth in their money on the back, probably with the same saying. This is totally a guess but I can see something like this going on over there

I haven't heard from the terp yet but one of my friends who is a special forces soldier said that they handed them out as a bribe to get answers when looking for sadaam and they can call a safe hotline number and be anonymous
