[QUOTE="rjrickett, post: 1374173, member: 36271"]I had a friend that was over in iraq a few years ago, and was actually there when they took over bagdad the first time. when he got back he had a huge bag full of these 250 dinars bills... he said people where burning them in the streets and figured they may have some value so grabbed a few! however much later i was given another bill by a friend at my church who was given a 250 dinar bill maybe 5 years prior to our conflict in iraq, and this dinar looked different then the one i had gotten from my friend who went to iraq... i am curious if this one my soldier friend gave me is a forgery (on the Top) or is it real? Reasons for thinking it may be fake: 1. it is bigger then the bottom one (which i know is real) 2. it isn't necessarily printed as good a quality but that is debatable 3. it doesn't have a watermark or security strip which are both present in the real one. What are your expert opinions? [ATTACH]162399.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]162400.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]162401.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]162402.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
