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’
