nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 10/16/2013 9:22 pm The mountain over "1000" is Mount Damavand, the highest volcano in Asia and the highest mountain in Iran. It also appears on the 10,000 rial note. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/21/2013 10:31 pm There are many Iran born people, that are currently living in the U.S.A. My early days in the Air Force, we were training Iranian and Iraqi military. That was the late 70's. In more current times, we still have military all over the globe. Also there were many Iranian's attending school here. And of course in better times there were tourist. Many of them could have brought coins here. Report this Post to the Staff
