These results show a drop in purity percentage of silver in the Khosrow II coins and weight reduction in Septimius and his wife Julia Domana silver coins. The cause of these fluctuations must be searched in the beginning of 5 year war of Iran and Rome which led to defeat of the Persians and recapturing Cteisphon by Romans at the end of the year 197 AD..

Abstract
The prevalence of electronic money has affected the volume of banknotes and coins in circulation in Iran. This paper aims to study and analyses the mechanism of e-money impacts on currency volume. In this regard, the effects of e-money issuance and development indicators, such as number of debit cards, number of ATM machines, number of Point of Sales (POS) terminals, number of terminals in bank branches, on the volume of banknotes and coins in circulation are estimated using quarterly data during 2004-2010. The estimation results show that the increase in the number of debit cards raises the volume of currency in circulation. This arises since the debit cards are often used to get money for daily and weekly purchases from ATM machines in Iran. In addition, the number of Point of Sales has a negative effect on the volume of currency in circulation.

Abstract
Hundreds of stray coins are being donated every year to different Iranian museums but it is difficult to establish their authenticities due to lack of knowledge about places of their findings. Part of these stray metallic pieces is related to Parthians. Due to their lengthy rule, of about five centuries, Parthian coins form important part of numismatic collection at the museums. Authors have taken Reza Abbasi Museum at Tehran as case study to review the authenticity of those coins.
A comparison between statistical data and available historical records give a vivid idea about the genuineness and forgery of these metallic pieces. As such, this article attempts to show the genuineness of some of the coins by taking into account statistical data from early Parthian kings and their comparison with the available historical documents.

Abstract
In the city of Esfarayn, for the first time coins were minted during the Ilkhanid era. The aim of the current study is to examine the form and content of inscriptions on those coins and seek answer to the following questions: What are the motives of engraving on Esfarayn coins of the Ilkhani period? What meanings the inscriptions of Ilkhanid coins contain with? The research method applied here is historical, descriptive and analytical. The statistical population of the study is 42 coins minted in Esfarayn. The results show that the Ilkhanids designed a variety of designs such as pentagonal, hexagonal and octagonal stars, circle, mandala, multicolored flowers, clover flowers, circle, borders and horseman for coins. Calligraphic changes with Arabic, Persian, Uyghur, Chinese scripts and motifs multiplied on Esfarayn coins, with the appointment and removal of Ilkhan. Despite religious beliefs of Shamanism, Buddhism, Christianity and Jews, they established religious tolerance in the political arena of Iran by accepting Islam. In addition to Islamic rituals, they could also reflect their own religious rituals on the coins bearing cultural messages. The differentiation of Mongolian rulers from the Iranian people and their religious and governmental policies reflects most changes in terms of themes and contents reflecting on the coins that have been studied in three periods altogether.
