Mindboggling...

Headline I just read: Lybian Rebels find billions of Gaddafi's money.
The picture to the article shows crates of colorful Dinar notes with the former rulers face on them.
The article claims that because of this find they can now finance the government for the next 6 months.
Wow, boxes upon boxes of colorful paper, sporting the head of the tyrant they just pushed out. This is worth something ?
Don't the new rulers have the power to make up their own colorful confetti ? Don't the people of Lybia know that ? Why would they accept it for value ?

Here's the link :

Though it"s in German, Google translate can give you a good idea what it says.
