   UANI`s Iran Rial Campaign Leads to Leading German Security Bank Note PrintingPress Manufacturer Ending Business in IranNEW YORK--(Business Wire)--On Wednesday, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) applauded Germany`s Koenig &Bauer Aktiengesellschaft (KBA) for ending its currency printing business inIran. KBA is the world`s second-largest security bank note printing pressmanufacturer, and had sold printing presses to numerous Iranian entities. Lastweek, UANI launched its Rial Currency Printing Campaign, and announced theresults of an investigation into KBA and other multinational companies that helpIran produce its currency, the rial. In recent discussions with UANI, KBA stated that it has "discontinued to supplybanknote printing presses as well as related goods and services to clientslocated in Iran, including to SPMO [Iran`s Security Printing and MintingOrganization] and the Central Bank of Iran." KBA also informed UANI that the SPMO recently "requested  
  KBA
   make offers forbanknote machines." KBA said, however, that it has "finally decided todiscontinue such sales to SPMO." KBA added that Iran`s Bank Meli recently"requested us to submit an offer for a banknote machine," but "we refused torespond." Said UANI CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace: We applaud KBA for ending its currency printing business in Iran. KBA`s decisionmakes it more difficult for the Iranian regime to combat the crash of the rial.We call on other companies to immediately stop assisting the regime and itsCentral Bank in printing and maintaining the rial`s integrity. Such assistanceundercuts the global effort to isolate and sanction Iran for its defiance ofinternational law and its pursuit of an illicit nuclear weapon. The regime is now dealing with severe inflation, and in cases wherehyperinflation has caused a currency to fall precipitously, a regime like Iran'smust maintain the ability to manipulate its money supply and the integrity ofits currency. Without sophisticated security and printing technology Iran maynot be able to do either. This will hasten the demise of the rial, and possiblyforce the regime to choose between a nuclear weapon and a functioning economy.
