Afghan men load worthless Afghani notes in bags in an underground strongroom of the country's national bank in Kabul November 29, 2001. Fleeing Taliban members plundered Afghanistan's national bank and made off with millions of dollars in cash two weeks ago during their hurried retreat from Kabul. The only cash left at the crumbling building consisted of ageing bundles of worthless 100 and 500 Afghani notes, stacked in dusty piles on the ground.
