| Comments |
Iran's domestic security paper mill in Āmol — TAKAB — has supplied substrate for Iranian banknotes since 2002, reducing dependence on foreign printers that had complicated procurement under sanctions regimes. Whether this note's full production remained in-country or involved any offshore component for the intaglio or security thread work is not publicly confirmed.
The denomination itself reflects the cumulative weight of inflation: one thousand tomans was a meaningful sum within living memory of older Iranians, and the government's periodic redenomination proposals — including a long-discussed shift to a new rial scale — have made the toman's informal status as the unit of everyday speech increasingly awkward against official currency nomenclature.
