lol. when I worked in Germany some of the other boys(not me, of course) used shillings in the ciggie machines instead of marks.

There are similar times when a euro coin can inadvertently be used instead of a pound....

Sandy, you can get Iranian Rials here from the Post Office :-)

Lol wherever you get them sandy it sounds as if you better be quick before they adjust all their machines,isn't the human devious mind a brilliant thing,whoever discovered this to begin with,as I am not aware of ever seeing a 250 rial coin?

I doubt if the Post Office does coins, but if you nip over to Tehran at the weekend, I'm sure you could get some.

''the Iranian 250 rial, which is worth around one pence''

wouldn't it cost more than that to mint it?

[DTCwordfan]

Tehran perhaps?

[sandyRoe]

The way things are going we could soon be able to get them in Baghdad, too.

That would also be your chance sandy to be an ambassador and sort out the troubles while you are there,quids in?

Piety and more prayer would be my answer to their problems. It doesn't seem to be working though.
