I've just noticed an Iranian 1,000 rials 1992- issue banknote that's been rubber stamped on the left hand side. Is this a religious or a propaganda thing? ~~I've only posted the detail of the stamp as the file of the whole note is too big to post.~~ I have other notes from the same issue but without the stamp. Any insight or translation much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Vic Full note pic. Edited by thai-vic 06/16/2009 05:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry I can't help you much with an actual translation, all I've got is a "how to read Arabic coins" book, which doesn't cover Persian in great detail. But I can theorize. It's not likely to be anything subversive against the regime; someone would have spotted it and removed it from circulation before it was given to a Westerner. Nor would it be anything pro-regime; the regular banknote design has enough pro-regime messages on it. It's probably an innocuous bank stamp, something like "Tehran branch". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
