KTFA:

DELTA: CBI JUST ADDED THE WORD SPECIMEN ON ALL THE NOTE...….. VERY INTERESTING

https://cbi.iq/page/89

Boxman: Why would they add specimen to notes that are already in existence????
As you said interesting....

Kindworld33: One Day After The United Nations Security Council meeting yesterday. Hmmmmmm

Suzie: Could you please explain?

DELTA: IMO..... CBI IS GETTING READY TO INTRODUCE NEW LDS
....
Walkingstick: ftti (for those that inquired) ... Unknown, could be, a number of reasons ...

Perhaps, the photos and description/s of notes on the CBI site will be used as an aid/s...Normally a small run of banknotes designated with the word (specimen) are distributed to foreign exchanges and Central banks, as an aid in recognizing currency from a different country, and... used as an aid in detecting counterfeit currency...

Or, a means of preventing the use of depicted notes from being copied for reasons other than their intended use...

***********

Cleitus: I take it to mean it's merely a "copy" of an original specimen to a country's currency. Cannot be replicated.

On Yahoo the question, "what does "specimen" mean stamped on some banknotes?"

Best Answer..." By banknotes if you mean currency, you cannot legally make a copy of OUR money without showing that it is a copy. They put the specimen across it to let people know it is a copy."

DELTA: I DID CHECK KUWAIT CENTRAL BANK AND THEY HAVE THE WORD SPECIMEN ON THE NOTE TOO ……IF YOU HEARD MY STORY FROM LAST NIGHT WITH FRANKIE? THAT MIGHT ANSWER THE ACTION OF THE CBI...

Walkingstick: SNIPPET........

His adviser responds to the criticism of political parties for Ebadi's position on sanctions against Iran

"Abadi puts the economic repercussions on the Iraq people as a result of non compliance with the implementation of sanctions in dealing with this decision, non compliance generates high poverty and unemployment and stops service and the collapse of the Iraqi currency, such as the Iranian and Turkish currency"
