Turning Iran’s paper money green
8 December 2009 Posted By Patrick Disney
Via Payvand, an ingenious new strategy from the Iranian protesters: scribbling opposition messages on bank notes.
Anti-government activists are not allowed to express themselves in Iranian media, so theses activists have taken their expressions to another high circulation mass-medium, banknotes. The Central Bank of Iran has tried to take these banknotes out of circulation, but there are just too many of them, and gave up. For the activists’ people it’s a way of saying “We are here, and the green movement is going on”.
Most of the notes are written in green ink.
Translation: “Plan to write 1 Billion slogans on bank notes. Bank notes without slogans is like saying no to spring.”
A re-write of a saying on the left side, which says ‘Iranian people will find “knowledge” no matter where – Prophet Muhammad’ – changed to say ‘Iranian people will find “justice” no matter where’
“People’s enemy”
