How to spot fake Iraqi Dinar notes?
Genuine Iraqi Dinar banknotes issued by the Central Bank of Iraq have five key security features that counterfeit notes cannot reliably replicate:
- Watermark – Hold the note up to light. A horse head watermark should be clearly visible in the paper on authentic notes.
- UV Security Fibres – Under an ultraviolet lamp, genuine notes reveal embedded fluorescent security fibres that glow across the paper surface.
- Color Shifting Ink – The denomination numeral on authentic notes changes color when tilted at different angles, similar to many modern US dollar bills.
- Metallic Security Thread – A 3D color shifting security thread is physically embedded within the paper itself not printed on the surface. It should be visible as a continuous line running through the note.
- Tactile Intaglio Printing – Run your finger across the main portrait and denomination text. On real notes, you will feel a raised, slightly rough texture caused by the intaglio printing process. Flat, smooth printing is a warning sign.
🛒 Buying & Products
What denominations of Iraqi Dinar do you sell?
We specialize in the two most popular collector denominations: the 25,000 Iraqi Dinar (IQD) note and the 50,000 Iraqi Dinar (IQD) note. Both are available in various bundle sizes from 10 note starter packs to bulk orders of 600 notes so whether you are a first time buyer or a seasoned collector, there is an option that fits your goals. Browse all available bundles at our Iraqi Dinar shop.
What is the difference between the 25,000 IQD and 50,000 IQD notes?
The 25,000 IQD is the most widely collected modern iraqi dinar note, featuring the Winged Bull of Assyria on the front and unique security elements printed by the Central Bank of Iraq. The 50,000 IQD is a higher denomination note introduced later, also produced by the Central Bank of Iraq, with distinct design elements including different watermarks and security threads. Both are equally genuine; your choice depends on which denomination you prefer to collect or hold.
Do you sell single notes or only bundles?
Our primary focus is bundle packs (10, 20, 40, 80, 160 and 600 notes for the 25K and 10, 20, 50 and 100 notes for the 50K), as bundles offer the best per note value. Each product page clearly states the exact note count and total face value so you always know precisely what you are purchasing before checkout.
Are there any bulk discounts available when buying Iraqi Dinar?
Yes. Our pricing is structured so that larger bundles offer a lower cost per note. For example, a 10 note 25K bundle is priced differently per note compared to our 160 note or 600 note bundles. Check our Offers page for any live promotional discounts on top of standard bundle savings.

⚖️ Legality & Compliance
Is it legal to own Iraqi Dinar banknotes in the United States?
Yes. Owning physical foreign currency, including iraqi dinar banknotes, is entirely legal in the United States for personal collection and numismatic purposes. There are no federal restrictions on possessing foreign paper money as a collectible. Collectors across the US legally purchase and hold foreign currency notes as part of historical or world banknote collections.

🔍 Condition & Grading
What does 'collector grade' mean for Iraqi Dinar notes?
Collector grade refers to notes that meet the standard expected by serious numismatists: crisp paper with no folds, sharp corners, no writing or stamps and full original luster. All notes we sell are reviewed for collector grade presentation before dispatch, ensuring your purchase looks exactly as expected.
How do I store Iraqi Dinar notes to maintain their condition after purchase?
For long term preservation, store your notes in acid free, PVC free currency sleeves or holders, away from direct sunlight, humidity and heat. Avoid touching the surface of the note with bare hands and use cotton numismatic gloves when handling. Storing notes flat in a currency album or rigid holder prevents bending and environmental damage.
Do the notes come with serial numbers and are they sequential?
All genuine Iraqi Dinar banknotes issued by the Central Bank of Iraq carry unique serial numbers printed on the note. The specific serial numbers of your notes will vary depending on the batch available at the time of your order. For bundle orders, notes are not guaranteed to be sequential unless specifically requested and confirmed with our team.
What is the difference between 'uncirculated' and 'circulated' Iraqi Dinar?
Uncirculated (UNC) notes have never been in public use and they come directly from the central bank printing process and have never passed through hands or wallets. Circulated notes have been used in daily commerce and typically show signs of wear: folds, creases or softened corners. We exclusively stock uncirculated notes because collectors and preservation focused buyers universally prefer them for their pristine original condition.
