Article: “Iran issues new 200,000 toman banknote” Quote: “Iran is witnessing an unprecedented surge in popular protests, with the economic situation worsening and the national currency collapsing to record lows. The US dollar has reached 95,300 tomans, while the price of a gold bar has exceeded 79 million tomans.
