    Where to buy put options on iranian rial.
    But I guess they do it like Israel: just make a new rial.
    We have *new* shekel in Israel since tge first Shekel was not a success at all.

    We all know that the “rial” is not “real”, . . . just an imaginary toy of the Butt-a-holeas that have ruined Iran.

    They could care less as they live better than Queen Liz.

        No, The “dolar” is FAKE, like the self proclaimed “Religion of Peace”.

        But the DOLLAR is REAL.

    Do not keep rial paper for your toilet use, it has the picture of our dear ayatollah Khomeini, it is an offense that violates the dignity of the greatest ever ruler!

    First time commenter.
    The ayatollahs are crazy, but they might not be stupid.
    Didn’t they just get a plane load of cash, from the former administration?
    Don’t they also control the Iranian currency value?
    A+B= Rial rich ayatollahs

    Last checked it was 116,500. The latest sanctions have not yet started. More bad news for them. Soon they will become like the other world oil exporter, Venezuela.
