Kurdistan 2006
Kurdistan new coins:
Where to get them: Joel Anderson
Kurdistan LINK: Kurdistan Regional Government
I asked the Kurdistan Regional Government if these are legal tender coins and this is their answer:
"Currently, the Kurdistan Regional Government does not have an offically recognized coin collection. The currency used in our region is the same all over Iraq. I hope this answers your question."
So, officially, this is NOT a legal tender set.
