Ripped from the Headlines

Listening to some radio thing about Egypt while pricing books I riffled the pages of one with a suspect binding and out flew two Egyptian banknotes.

One is age tanned, abused and partially shredded and reads Central Bank of Egypt One Pound. The other is crisp, square, packs all the modern anti-counterfeiting amenities and reads Central Bank of Egypt Twenty Five Piastres.

Synchronicity!
