One of these drew my attention a while back and I just got around to picking one up. Its a German attempt at recreating an English £1 Peppiatt note (the design of the pink and blue note reproduced in different colour, we switched to a lilac colour during the war but modified the design slightly) with Arabic writing on the reverse... it was dropped in Africa during the second world war.

The translation reads:
Signs of Disintegration. If you inspect this banknote, 
you will remember the time when it was worth ten times its present value in bright shiny gold. 
That was because at that time the strength and riches of the mighty British Empire supported such notes. 
But that greatness is fading as is the value of this worthless piece of paper. What is this note worth today? 
You certainly know the answer to that.
 With each passing day of this British inspired war, the strength of the Empire is depleted. 
Each battle that England loses causes a further weakening of their currency. 
The day draws near when even the beggars in the street will refuse the British banknote, even as a gift. 
Truly, Allah wills the collapse of Britain, which will surely come to pass.
