SUGGESTED LEAD IN:
Security was tight on the streets of Baghdad on Monday as supplies of the new Iraqi dinar notes were delivered to banks.
They go into circulation in two days.
VOICEOVER:
0002
Armoured vehicles full of new bank notes for what the Coalition says is a new era in Iraq.
0008
The Iraqi dinar notes were being delivered to banks under the watchful eye of both US and Iraqi security forces.
0016
They'll be going into circulation in two days time - after months of coalition attempts to get Iraq's banking system back into operation.
0025
Iraqis have three months to exchange the old money for the new - but people were already queueing up at their local banks to avoid the rush
0036
The notes no longer bear the image of Saddam Hussein - but a waterfall, a portrait of a Babylonian king and a number of historic monuments.
0046
They also have security features that make it hard to counterfeit.
0051
But more than anything - the new notes are about a rupture with the past and about erasing all traces of Saddam from the national imagination.
