  1. Let's see if it stays there ir drops even more.
  2. Abram who later became Abraham was originally from Ur which was in Iraq. But Christianity was birthed in Israel, and later had believers and churches in Iraq. The Hebrew children were carried off in slavery to Babylon when they chose to not worship the one true God.
  3. When Russia lopped 25 years ago they had run away inflation. They didn't give the poplulation enough time to exchange all their currency, so many many people lost great amounts of cash. They later would try to fob those worthless bills off on foreigners as change. The way I understand it, Iraq does not have the same problem with inflation. And if they did, they would have lopped years ago. I believe they are holding out for a large exchange rate so the general population will have more buying power and the economy will benefit from the new prosperity. I just wish they could figure out how to go ahead and do it.
  4. I heard people who had invested in the Kuwaiti dinar say that when it first started revaluing the rate was all over the place (some said over 7 to 1) before it settled to where it is now. Unfortunately it never stayed there long enough for anyone to be able to take advantage of it. They didn't have the internet sources like we have today and had to rely on contacts over there to fill them in on what was happening. I do know that what happened with Kuwait is not the same as what will happen with the Iraqi dinar. Its a whole different situation.
  5. Pimpy has said before that he only has about $3,000 in this investment. His fun is making people think that what he says is important, when he is just someone trying to make a few bucks so he can retire and pay off his debt. How does that qualify him to be a guru???
  6. On that site 1000= 14,431.79 on XE $1000= 1,309,205.3 IQD
  7. Fred, when I clicked on the link unde neath those numbers it showed even more
  8. If it was good info its like they chopped off two of the zeros- lets shoot for 3 zeros taken off.
  9. South Korea exports way more than they import so a low exchange rate is to their benefit. Not so with Iraq.
  10. I would not hesitate one minute to cash it all in at $3.81 But honestly, who can believe anything these gurus say?
  11. I've been watching the charts on XE and for the past 2 1/2 weeks its been going bananas! Up and down, up and down, over and over and over again. It had held pretty steady for several years, but not now! It looks like we are monitoring their currency heartbeat. I have no idea what it actually means, but my hope is its going to start shooting up in value.
  12. XE now shows 1USD = 1,309.65
  13. Henig Article: "Including Iraq..Three countries will record the highest economic growth in 2023" Quote: "Despite the decline in the economic growth of the Arab countries, the bank stated that "Egypt, the UAE and Iraq have the highest economic growth rate among the other Arab countries during the year 2023, as their growth is expected to exceed 4%, while the growth rate of the rest of the Arab countries will decrease to less than 4%." Grouping Iraq in with the UAE is a far stretch. Take a look at Dubai's skyline over the past 20 years and you will notice it has quadrupled. Their commerce is spreading like crazy and they pay their citizens a portion of what they bring in from their oil revenues. Iraq has a starving population and it has been in a standstill mode for the past 20 years. They have brought in a lot of oil revenue, but it has not been to the benefit of their citizens. How can they expect to succeed in commerce until they spread the wealth around?
  14. The difference with Kuwait is they didn't have all these chat sites feeding them information. They had to have boots on the ground telling them what was happeneing with the rate. So when the rate started climbing they had to rely on who they knew to know when to cash in. That $7 rate happened so fast they couldn't act fast enough to take advantage of it.
  15. According to Ronan (that used to be in here and Him and his father invested in Kuwaiti Dinar), It bounced around at first and went as high as $7+ before it setted at 3.25 (or there abouts) But Kuwait dinar was a whole different animal than the IQD is. Lets just be hoping the IQD shows a profit for all these years we've been holding it.
  16. I live close to Orlando and we do our banking with Truists Bank. Perhaps I could check it out (Frank's bank story)
  17. Are the white papers even valid anymore, Louigi, being as there's a new sherriff in town???
  18. rvmydinar We were already home when they did the lop. The Russian people did not benefit from exchanging their old bills with the 3 zeros when they exchanged them for the new bills without the 3 zeros. I'm sorry, but I don't remember the rate of exchange for us. We exchanged whatever rubles we had left over in Russia before we left.
  19. We were in Russia in November 1997 adopting 2 little girls. We had to exchange all of our adoption money into rubles to pay for everything. We were millionairs! Shortly after we got home Russia lopped their currency (losing the 3 zeros). The Russian people were given very little time to exchange and they limited the number of hours the banks would be open. The lines were non ending. So when the time was up many many Russians were stuck with useless currency. We were back in Russia 7 years later and the venders at the markets were unloading useless currency off on unsuspecting tourists as change for their purchases. That, coupled with the fear of getting rubles that had been contaminated by Chernoble made for tricky exchanges. So when the time comes to exchange our Dinar we are choosing to be safe rather than sorry.
  20. Tivon said the HCL is ready- How is it ready? It certainly hasn't been passed into law or we would have heard it from Adam.
  21. It makes you wonder how much they are paying Kapperoni to say this. Another effort to get triple zero dinar off the street?
  22. To Me, Militiaman's thinking is a lop and does not benefit us.
  23. Viet Nam, like China benefit from a low exchange rate because they export so many goods and it far exceeds what they import Iraq, on the other hand has very poor citizens that have to pay dearly for goods because it is all imported. At this point they benefit very little from the oil their government exports. So if Kazemi is going to keep the common man on the street happy, he needs to make some drastic changes.
  24. But how do we know for sure they are not referring to the rate it was before they changed it a year ago?
