PAKISTAN INVESTIGATES IMPROPERLY PRINTED BANKNOTES

According to published reports, "The speaker of Pakistan's
parliament has ordered an inquiry into why the national flag
depicted on the new 1,000 rupee banknote is not in green but
red and carries a close resemblance to its Turkish equivalent.

"A senior finance official told the National Assembly that a
cabinet committee had approved the note, which went into circulation
in late 2006 and is worth the equivalent of $16.

"The controversy comes at a time when Pakistan finds itself in the
middle of a political storm."
