Transdniestria issues new series of notes
Dec 30, 2007 09:14 AM Category: Europe
On
December 22, 2007, the Trans-Dniester Republican Bank
issued a new series of banknotes. The new notes
feature the same people and places as the old notes,
but the images have been modified to extend to the
border. Furthermore, anti-counterfeiting features
have been enhanced with the inclusion of a windowed
security thread on all denominations. The existing
200- and 500-rublei notes will not be issued as part
of this series as they already contain sophisticated
security features. Both the new and old series will
circulate without restrictions.

Zimbabwe arrests man for using notes as business cards
Dec 09, 2007 09:20 AM Category: Africa
On December 6, 2007, Denis Paul, a 41-year-old professional hunter and lodge owner from Bulawayo, was arrested on charges of defacing 10-cent bearer cheques by stamping them with his business details, then handing them out as business cards at the World Tourism Market fair in London in November.
According to the state-controlled Herald newspaper, “The ZTA (Zimbabwe Tourism Authority) alleges that Paul had discouraged foreign tour operators from coming to Zimbabwe while claiming that the country’s currency was so useless that it was only fit to be used as business cards.” Zimbabwe has the world’s highest inflation rate, making the 10-cent notes worthless immediately upon issuance.
If found guilty, Paul could face up to a year in prison.

Iraq may issue revalued banknotes in early 2008
Dec 03, 2007 08:08 AM Category: Middle East
According
to a Dow Jones Newswire report of November
29, 2007,
the Central Bank of Iraq is contemplating rebasing
the Iraqi dinar and issuing new banknotes early in
2008. “The central bank will take a decision in
three months time from now, taking off three zeros
from the current Iraqi dinar value,” said Finance
Minister Bayan Jabor. Printing new notes and fully
replacing the old ones would take two years.
Iraq’s current notes were printed by De La Rue,
though Jabor didn’t say which company would print
the new banknotes.
