AP: Iran’s currency hit a record low against the U.S. dollar in street trading, the semiofficial Mehr news agency reported Sunday. Mehr says the rial dropped nearly 7 percent in a single day, to 24,300 rials to the dollar. Street traders say the rial rose slightly later on Sunday to around 23,900 rials to the dollar.
The collapse of the currency is a sign of the effect of Western sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program. The West suspects Iran is aiming to build nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies. On July 1, the European Union banned import of Iranian oil, and the U.S. tightened sanctions against Iran’s banks.
On Friday, Canada cut diplomatic relations with Iran over its nuclear program, support for Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime and the country’s poor record on human rights issues.
Governor of Iran’s central bank, Mahmoud Bahmanai, said the plunge of the rial was the result of a rush on the market by buyers seeking to obtain the dollar, rather than other economic reasons >>>

by Roozbeh_Gilani on Sun Sep 09, 2012 11:21 AM PDTInstead of spending your not so hard earned cash on the last minute shopping of sexy underwear for 5ft3, 200 lbs haji khanoom, buy some US Dollars to take back home. As soon as back in Iran, take it to haji agha amoo's shop in bazar and make a kill on currency exchange

Lower than price of tissue paper
by Fred on Sun Sep 09, 2012 09:01 AM PDTRegime change is the only way To avoid the war the warmongering, Iranian men, women and children raping, maiming and murdering Messianic Islamist Rapists are hard at work on imposing on all.
Backbreaking airtight sanctions plus air/naval quarantine is a must.
The value of Messianic Islamist Rapists' currency has to drop to lower than the value of tissue paper, where it is nearing by the hour.
