  1. I know you asked for Chicago, and I'm not in Chicago... but I think we're close enough we could arrange something! I'm in St. Louis. I don't have as many IQD as what you'd want though, and everything I have is 25k notes... just so you know.
  2. Thank you for your suggestion. My question may have not been clear. I'm not necessarily concerned with what the exchange rate will be as much as I am with the type of services, products, and customer service they offer their clients. Thanks again. To everybody else, thank you for your suggestions. I'll start looking in to credit unions in the St. Louis area. Primarily, my wife and I are looking for somebody that won't hassle us when it comes to our money (yeah right, I know), as well as somebody that from pretty much any major city in the continental U.S. we can do business somewhere. I'm tired of small-town banks and then I can't get a money order in St. Louis. Thanks again all!
  3. I'm just hoping to get some feedback from the DinarVets Community. I have just moved to St. Louis and there are many banks down here, Bank Of America, US Bank, 5/3, etc. I'm curious as to what opinions the DinarVets community might have on any of these banks as I need to open a new account anyway for doing business here locally. I'm just trying to pick 1 that might be better concerning my investment. What are people's thoughts please?
  4. So, I have a 4 year old boy... and last year at church, they were going around during Sunday school and holding up a mirror in front of each child and posing this question, "What did God make?" to which every child was responding with, "Me." It comes to my son, and the same question posed... without missing a beat, he yells out quite proudly, "Mirrors!" True story, found out about it from his Sunday School teacher posting it on Facebook after church that day.
  5. Man in hospital bed wearing oxygen mask over his mouth. "Nurse", he mumbles. "Are my testicles black?" Nurse raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand & his testicles in the other, ...she takes a close look & says, "There's nothing wrong with them Sir." Man pulls off the oxygen mask, smiles at her & says very slowly, "Thanks for that, it was lovely, but listen very very carefully. "Are-my-test-re-sults-back?"
  6. I gave you a thumbs up for no reason other than your signature, LOVE IT!!!
  7. I don't have a lil Johnny with a piggy bank to break, or a college fund for anybody named Suzzie... by chance, are either of those financial resources of YOURS available to fund a small investment into the Dinars for me? Thanks, GO RV!!!
  8. I just wanted to thank you for making this post as I AM a Christian, and while you are not, your post gives me the opportunity to make a unique point that most don't usually consider... please, anybody who reads my comment, consider this statement as food for thought, and nothing more. Generally, people have certain ways they try and handle situations that present themselves in life. This is not exclusive to the Christian faith, or its' doctrine, however, it has been proven time and time again by science, history, and life in general, and that is that everything in the Bible is true, whether it can proven by our standards with our present technology as of yet or not, this is still true, and is a fact. The problem with proving the Bible to be true is that the only way we have of doing that is our logic, and our logic or (deductive reasoning) is a flawed system. Deductive reason operates under the pretense that the rules for performing a deduction are true, as we are 'inside' this system, we are not outside of it and have no outside ability to evaluate the results of the process. This is a necessary requirement to be able to prove anything, is absolutely true, no matter what the scenario. For example, if I were 6 months old right now, I could deduct using my senses that there was light around me allowing me to see, or not, but either way, as I'm 'inside' said light, I have no ability whatsoever to deduct what the source of that light is, or even a concept of light, all I can do as a 6 month old is realize that I can see. As adults, we understand that light is necessary to see (because of our deductive reasoning) but we still have no greater role in being able to analyze it as we are still not outside of it, or above it. When things get rough (like when you're getting pulled over for speeding, or whatever the situation might be) if it's severe enough, what's the 1st thing ALL people instinctively do, regardless of their religion... does it sound something like this: 'Please God, no!' or 'God, don't let this happen... if you prevent this from happening I swear I'll be in church every Sunday!'... You see, even the unbeliever's acknowledge God when they are in a position of utter helplessness for a given situation. Of note, this also means that for any situation we might encounter in our lives, whether we believe in God or not, live a life to follow him or not, if we look to the Bible for direction on how to handle said situation, you'll be surprised at how things can change for you as a result, even if you don't start going to church or preaching, just taking good advice from a good source is smart. One last comment and then I'm finished, sorry for the rant all... Mark Twain when he was 13 had come to the realization that his father was a complete idiot. When he was 21, he was amazed at how much his father had learned. Replace father with Bible, and acknowledge the truth that the father had not become any wiser in this analogy, but Mark Twain who advanced in knowledge realized later in life that what his father had always told him DID have merit, through his own trial and error, he was able to establish that his father had a clue so-to-speak, about how to live his life, handle different situations, etc. The same is true with the Bible. You might not like the part where it says 'Thou shalt not...(fill in the rest as applicable to you)', but even if you don't, you will 1 day realize that taking the advice that is offered eventually benefits us, just as we find with our parents as we grow up(in most cases). There, I'm finished... thanks to those of you who read it, and my apologies to those who might be offended. GO RV!!!
  9. Unfortunately, it's a double edged sword. Before, people would warn about posting things like what you're referring to, but it never did any good and then other people would say that if people only had negative things to say, to not say anything at all... and now, you have people thanking those making these types of posts instead of ignoring them or calling them out like it used to be and as a result, the people who would've continued to make these bad posts anyway, receive no opposition, and in some cases, support... Long and short, I hear ya and 2nd the motion of not thanking for posts that we'd all rather regain the time we spent reading them. GO RV!!!
  10. For the record, I'm a website developer for a major web development company here in the United States - Onshore Technology Services. I can't list our clients due to confidentiality, however, I CAN tell you that we have several fortune 500 companies as clients. That said, it is COMPLETELY normal for a website to be built, functional, and only available to certain entities. We do this all the time. Typically, we deploy sites on our own internal network first for development/testing purposes, then when we're ready, we make it 'outward facing' meaning that the world can see it (this does NOT mean however that you'll find it listed in Google search results, merely that if I gave you the website address, you'd be able to view it). THAT said, I find it HIGHLY unlikely that some random tax collector would have first hand knowledge of any such website for the Central Bank of Iraq. I only say this because whomever their website developers are that have made this alleged site, are not talking about it (ALL such professionals have non-disclosure agreements we're forced to sign when we start employment or contracts), and in addition to that, obviously the CBI and it's affiliates wouldn't be talking about it anymore than they've been talking about an RV. I hate to be the bearer of negativity, and if you'll reflect on the first portion of my post, I DID state that it IS possible for such a site to exist that isn't viewable by the public, or even announced to the public, but it is HIGHLY unlikely that this is true, let alone that anybody outside of the CBI and/or the developers working on the site actually know about it. I'm still optimistic and hope that come the 7th I'll visit the CBI yet again to find a new site up, GO RV!!!
  11. I for 1 feel that this is a good sign. While it doesn't necessarily mean that an RV is impending, it DOES imply that 1 is... at least, in my opinion anyway. I say this only because the only reason to stop doing the reserves is if there were an RV pending. Otherwise, the price would stay as it is and he could continue to do reserve sales. If the RV IS pending though however, he can't offer them in advance at a price that he MAY not be able to provide them at in the event that the RV DOES occur after he makes a reserve sale but before he actually has to handle said sale. GO RV!!!
  12. Food for thought: Investing in the Iraqi Dinar, or anything else in life is simply that, an investment or gamble if you will... that said, why would ANYBODY consider pulling out prior to seeing it through? I only say this because if you think about it, that's like saying whoops, I didn't mean to gamble that money. If a person goes and buys a lottery ticket, they don't sell it back without scratching it off, they don't turn it in before the numbers are drawn... ya know? Just sayin'.
  13. 2 things: 1) Great read, I've already re-posted to my Facebook and will likely post a link to it on my personal website as well... with your permission of course! 2) You state towards the end of your document that you will NOT support a non-Christian agenda for which I applaud you, that said however, biblically, we are also bound by God to pray for our leaders. So support, okay... maybe not, but pray for I believe you should all of those whom you've mentioned, as well as any to come. All in all, thank you for your post, I completely agree, as well as would like to point to the fact that this site may be about greed and not God, but that's only those of us who DON'T subscribe to a Christian agenda of some sort... in my opinion anyway. Those of us who do, at least myself anyway, plan to give a minimum of 10% of what I take home from this investment as a tithe as well as donating significant amounts to other organizations like Samaritan's Purse to hopefully better mankind. If that's an example of greed, I'd sure like to know what the definition of greed is as I now know I've been confused for a large portion of my life. I'm still young though, there's opportunity for change GO RV!!!
