Iran is to lop several zeros off its currency as it battles double-digit inflation, central bank vice president Hossein Ghazavi said in comments published on Thursday. "A special committee has been formed within the central bank to prepare the currency reform and the suppression of several zeroes," the financial daily Sarmayeh quoted Ghazavi as saying. "A 10,000 rial note has the same purchasing power now as 25 rials 30 years ago," he said.

Fred, great job. You can start something here. Keep going all the way. Ofcourse to talk about the disasterous economic policies of the IRI it will take books! But what you can show is how Khomeini's famous phrases became law of the land and official policy of the regime.
