This link shows the satellite's logo, which will be placed on coins and
banknotes:

Since it looks so much like the Starfleet logo, it would be a hoot to
get some of these. Circulation strikes are fine.
Does anyone have any contacts in Iran, or a reasonably inexpensive way
to get some of these?

Hello Darren
Just guessing now. I would say you're either in the
State of Kansas, or Missouri, here in the United States.
If that is true, the information below would apply to
you.
You can read the entire text on the TEXT file link

On August 19, 1997, the President signed Executive
Order 13059 clarifying Executive Orders 12957 and
12959 and confirming that virtually all trade and
investment activities with Iran by U.S. persons,
wherever located, are prohibited.

Iran at all. I want a few of their coins. Removing these coins
permanently from their economy would be the antithesis of investing or
trading with Iran.
Not sure what your point was, but it came across as snippy. Do you
really think President Clinton meant to prohibit the acquisition of
Iranian coins with his Executive Order?

Hello Darren
My objective was not to be (or sound) snippy at you. I was
pointing out to you that there is a trade embargo against
Iran here in the United States. Any contact with them would
bring you unwelcome attention to you from the Federal
government and the U.S. Treasury.
The trade embargo goes back to Executive order 12613
that was first Issued by President Reagan in the 1980's.
(See text below). President Clinton included all U.S.
persons living here in the United State and abroad.

An overview of O.F.A.C. Regulations involving Sanctions
against Iran Iranian Transactions Regulations - 31
C.F.R. Part 560
As a result of Iran's support for international terrorism
and its aggressive actions against non-belligerent shipping
in the Persian Gulf, President Reagan, on October 29, 1987,
issued Executive Order 12613 imposing a new import embargo
on Iranian-origin goods and services. Section 505 of the
International Security and Development Cooperation Act of
1985 ("ISDCA") was utilized as the statutory authority for
the embargo which gave rise to the Iranian Transactions
Regulations, Title 31, Part 560 of the U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations (the "ITR").
Effective March 16, 1995, as a result of Iranian sponsorship
of international terrorism and Iran's active pursuit of
weapons of mass destruction, President Clinton issued
Executive Order 12957 prohibiting U.S. involvement with
petroleum development in Iran. On May 6, 1995, he signed
Executive Order 12959, pursuant to the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") as well as the ISDCA,
substantially tightening sanctions against Iran.
On August 19, 1997, the President signed Executive Order
13059 clarifying Executive Orders 12957 and 12959 and
confirming that virtually all trade and investment activities
with Iran by U.S. persons, wherever located, are prohibited.
On March 17, 2000, the Secretary of State announced that
sanctions against Iran would be eased to allow U.S. persons
to purchase and import carpets and food products such as
dried fruits, nuts, and caviar from Iran. This change was
implemented through amendments to the ITR at the end of
April 2000.
Effective November 10, 2008, the authorization for "U-turn"
transfers involving Iran was revoked. As of that date, U.S.
depository institutions are no longer authorized to process
transfers involving Iran that originate and end with
non-Iranian foreign banks. Details concerning the
revocation of the U-turn authorization and a description of
currently permissible funds transfers can be found in the
Financial Dealings with Iran section of this document.
Criminal penalties for violations of the Iranian
Transactions Regulations may result in a fine up to
$1,000,000, and natural persons may be imprisoned for up
to 20 years. Civil penalties, which are not to exceed the
greater of $250,000 or an amount that is twice the amount
of the transaction that is the basis of the violation with
respect to which the penalty is imposed may also be imposed
administratively.
This fact sheet provides general information about the
Iranian sanctions program under the Iranian Transactions
Regulations, and incorporates sanctions imposed by Executive
Orders 12957, 12959, and 13059. The sanctions are
administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of
Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC").

Other way around. Unless the Iranian currency is made of precious
metals, nothing of value leaves the country when it is removed from
the country never to return. Yet, something of value had to be
exchanged for it in order to obtain it, so the result is a net flow
of value into the country with no outstanding debt or obligation for
Iraq.

Oops, Iran.
