Iraq's 50 Dinar notes of this period were printed domestically by the Central Bank's own printing works — a capacity Iraq had invested in heavily during the late Baathist period to reduce dependence on foreign printers. By 1994, the country was deep into UN sanctions imposed after the Kuwait invasion, and the currency was in freefall; the official rate had long since become fictional, with street exchange rates diverging so far from the pegged rate that parallel figures were the only economically meaningful ones.

The "Printed: 30.04.1945" datum in this record is almost certainly a data entry error and should not be taken at face value.
