I was going through some of my military things today and found these. I forgot that I had bought them after the 1st "War" They are uncirculated and have no idea.
I thought I'd throw in a pic of my section with one of our war trophys , a soviet T-72 tank that tried to run away from our precision guided bombs :o near the Iraq border. I am on the left. Looked a little younger and in better shape back 19 years ago ::)

I have several of those as well. While he was in power they were worth something. Not sure about now. New currency in effect and all

Yes, I didn't think they were worth "his weight in gold" :D

Gulf War 1 or GW1. I was in the middle of BNCOC (Basic Non Commissioned Officer Course) Army talk, when that set off. I came down on orders to go to the desert but they let me finish my training. Two weeks later after in processing, shots, will, briefings, power of attorneys and almost complete with orders to my plane, the war ended. My orders were canceled and I did not have to go. I still enjoy working with the military and enjoy it even more not having to start work at 0600 by running 3 miles, LOL. HH, Mike

I still have a Saddam funny money bill too.
I used to keep it in the butt stash of my rifle.

If I find it I'll take a picture, I also have an Afghani bill somewhere.

CJH,
First, thank you for your service!

And thanks for sharing, I have never seen one before.
It is a piece of history, good or bad.

Yeah, he looked pretty confident on the bill, until the lynch mob walked him over to the rope ;D
