A Very Odd Currency question.....

... as I know there are a few collectors here. Today I bought 100,000 Afghani for .1750 (per 1000) US Dollars. The market rate for AFA/USD is 1000/.21

Cut & Pasted exchange rates:
Live Rates as of 2001.10.10 02:36:23 GMT.
1,000.00 AFA Afghanistan Afghanis = 0.210526 USD United States Dollars
(Link Below)

Why would anyone sell cash BELOW face value? And these are CURRENT and exchangeable notes. Been scratching my head on this one! Bought from a reputable dealer (not counterfeit) & he knows the exchange rates just like I do.

Maybe Afghanistan won't be there long enough to cash them in?? LOL Can anyone help me figure this one out?

Anyone like a few Afghanis LMK (will be here soon)
These are the notes:
