Standard belief is Caliph Utman ordered the confiscation of all Korans. had a new copy rewritten to HIS specifications and had them distributed to the Imans. The old copies were then destroyed.
Anyone caught with an older copy were put to death.

A couple of important questions remain: is it big enough for target practice or soft enough for use in the loo?
