A Strange Banknote...well Not Really A Banknote But ...

Very cool backstory. Imagine whos hands this could have been in.

Any update from your friend?

I asked a friend of mine who studies Arabic, and he in turn passed it around to his friends. Here was the reply:

"First of all, it is not a good Arabic. You can tell that it was translated from another language to broken Arabic.
The literal meaning is:
'Posting a reward is beneficial by providing the information about the terrorist activities. And it is unnecessary to provide your name when you get the reward.
Calling: 07701623300 or 513462 or contact the Iraqi police in your area.'"

The second scan wasn't clear enough for anyone to understand unfortunately.

Sorry I didn't get back to y'all I'm moving from Alaska to Georgia but I think my friend didn't make it back from his deployment safely so I won't be able to get a translation but I see someone else came around sorry.

with AldousHxlE ....

On the reverse, translation reads:

"Helping Maousel (city's name) to make it safe, as you are badly need for the money and for the loving of your family. And no need to mention your names when acquiring the reward.

Contact NUmber 07701623300 or 513462 or call Iraqi Police in your area"
