Reuters: Iran's government was locked in a test of wills with currency dealers on Saturday as it tried unsuccessfully to impose a stronger rial exchange rate, after a plunge by the currency earlier in the week triggered street protests.

Can we have the Reuters link (for non-Farsi speakers) ?

Citing more or less the same figure, I was yesterday corrected by this link:

So, what's the figure ? 

PS. don't like being corrected by an IRI loving Croatian who gets his air-tickets regularly paid for by the IRI embassy in Croatia.

This Mr. Prosecutor will himself be the subject of prosecution one day, after the regime falls (provided he hasn't already legged it to somewhere in the West, where he and his buddies have stashed away Iranian people's money).
