2.  three helicopters filled with shrink-wrapped blocks of $100-dollar notes.
three helicopters filled with shrink-wrapped blocks of $100-dollar notes. The money, which was outside the regular budget, would have weighed 14 tonnes and represented the equivalent of around six months regular financing for the Kurdish regional government It was part of nearly $1.8bn paid by the CPA to the Kurds outside its regular financing in its final two months of life. The money came from the Development Fund for Iraq, set up by the United Nations following the war for use in rebuilding the country.
