There's something amusingly decadent about using an 250 Dinar Iraqi bank note as a bookmark. Particularly in a James Bond novel.

A friend of a friend; he was in the reserves and got sent to Iraq for a year. He brought back a bunch of them as giveaways and is now driving around the country, crashing at peoples' houses for a couple of days at a time. So he gave us a couple as souvineers.

These are the new, post-Saddam notes; he has a few from the Saddam-era too, but he's not giving them away.
