Iraqi Dinar!

It's the little things in life that make us laugh. This just happens to be one of them.

You see, although this may seem like a bargin at first, it's not. To put this into perspective, £3.50, the price on eBay of 1000 Iraqi Dinar, is actually worth 9056.08 Iraqi Dinars.

They should just be called dollars. Just like American, Canadian and Australian currencies.

PS. A dinar isn't a new currency.

I saw something like this in the local newspaper on Sunday, and I laughed.

And 'dinar' probably means dollar.

Oh, and 'dollar' is a slang term, at least for the US. They're really called 'Federal Reserve Notes'.

So how many federal reserve coins are there in the suggested value of a federal reserve note?

"Dinar" doesn't mean anything - it's just the name of a currency.

Dinar originates from denarius (of Latin origin), which was a Roman coin, which was worn ten asses (no, not those. It was a copper coin.)
