Pengar som bränner i fickan
Det galna Iran firar sina nukleära framgångar med en ny sedel värd 50.000 rial, vilket är det högsta beloppet hittills på en iransk sedel. På den ena sidan avbildas liksom alltid, eftersom lagen föreskriver det, Ayatollah Khomeini, och på den andra - en atomsymbol.
AFP rapporterar:
(Via Hot Air)The new 50,000 rial note -- at around five dollars worth more than twice the value of any other note in circulation -- sports a picture of the standard nuclear insignia of electrons in orbit around an atom.
"If the science exists in this constellation, men from Persia will reach it," says the calligraphic legend beside the atomic orbit, quoting a saying (Hadith) from the Prophet Mohammed.
On the front of the note is a picture of the Islamic republic's founder, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, which according to the law must be on all Iranian currency.
