"What can I do? Nobody accepts the 10,000 bills at full face value and I was paid in 10,000 bills," said Shatha Abdulrahman. "Banks are announcing that there is nothing wrong with the bills, they are legal tender, but merchants are refusing to honor them."

This is the obligatory "Reuters Bad News From Iraq"(TM) that must be included in every article. So why doesn't this guy just go to a bank, have the bills changed, and stop whining?
