Own a Saddam Dinar

Own a Saddam Dinar

50 dinar 'Saddam' banknoteI couldn’t resist bidding on a few of the Saddam Dinars available through Ebay. I ended up with four 100-dinar notes and four 250-dinar notes, all uncirculated. I paid about $1.00 for each. It appears that face value is not an issue here, except for the 10,000-dinar notes that Iraqis do not want but for which Americans are paying as much as $12-15 each. A friend saw 10,000-dinar notes on sale in an Atlanta flea market for $20 each!

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
