THE LINK : http://www.iraqsun.com/index.php/sid/212378038/scat/c31d0aaa23b24a75 No offense ALBUNDY or anyone else, but I have no idea who this newspaper looking website really is but it's main business address is AUSTRALIA not Iraq. I want to believe this, really, but Can't find anything on this site to show credibility. As for me, I'm watching easily verifiable sources, coupled with corroboration of other credible sources to see if they run this story. Here's the link to all of the REAL Iraq news medias and I don't see this one listed. http://www.abyznewslinks.com/iraq.htm Hopefully one of these or better the Gazette will run his story. IMHO, This "story" really makes no sense in light of everything that has transpired and the position Iraq is in. and this is what makes this story Exciting or Camel dung. We're the outsiders looking in and many readers are new here. Very few have endured 10+ years and those who have, have Not Lived the torment and torture of actually being there through it all. The Iraqi people have lived through their country being torn apart and disassembled. They've lived through their currency going from the second most Trusted currency in the world (second only to the Swiss Franc) to one Of the worlds lowest. They haven't lost their natural resources that backed that super currency They've just been stepped on and paying this Huge price because of Saddam and his actions. If anyone reading this who is on the outside looking in thinks you're Sick and tired and impatiently waiting, the Iraqi people are way fed up and ready for a new chapter in their lives. They're struggling to feed their families and keep life going without power or any of the comforts we have. Sure, the "Green Zone" is looking better but nothing else is. If parliament doesn't do something quickly, not only do they fall in disfavor of the UN and the IMF (and the U.S., and Germany, and ....) but they are seriously close to their own personal Iraqi "Arab Spring" uprising from their own people. Too many of us people looking IN tend to project our FOREIGN needs And wants and desires on them and then we interpret what they're doing through our jaded, needy, wanting eyes. This is not about us or U.S. or any other foreign people or government. This is all about Iraq. What they will do, will be for Iraq first and everyone else (the world) second. For a story to break that they have changed their minds WOW I think this is GREAT news. The moment when Kuwait revalued, their leaders were holding a Press conference on the steps of parliament saying they were FAR from changing their currency's value. Distracting the world while they were pushing the button. Nope, I have No CLUE who this Australian website is posing as an Iraqi new agency, but if what they're reporting is REALLY verifiable And True,,, I'm jumping for joy baby. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALBUNDY Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 CaptainWingnut: " I have no idea who this newspaper looking website really is " , me too. " The moment when Kuwait revalued " , are you really sure that Kuwait revalued? I really don't know because I can't find the sources to prove that Kuwait revalued. Please let's share with us if you have the sources to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyf Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 One leads right to the other... It does not. The national currency of Iraq is the IQD( IQ + 1st letter of Dinar). If there was a change in currency, the national currency would become IQI( IQ + 2nd letter of Dinar). Changes in banknotes to the existing currency is done by the issue of a new series, or additions to the current series. Redenominations are accompanied by a new currency so this sounds like any RD is being ruled out for the time being. Have to be careful though with translated articles. Zambia has recently redenominated and in the technical guidelines there was no reference to currency outside of Zambia. Everything pointed to the ZMK could only be exchanged for the ZMW inside Zambia. Anyone who believes in the RD should take serious note of this point. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was KWD before the invasion and is still KWD today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi1 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Shabibi has stated on numerous occations uncirculated small denoms of the current IQD curency does exist.

CaptainWingnut Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 You're right! There is very little electronically (on the Internet) regarding the Kuwaiti Dinar revaluation as it happened before the Internet was a popular place for news. But there is still credible evidence there to be discovered. Here's a link to an archive with a brief history of the event and it has a link to the BBC's August 2000 article as well. http://iqd.me/l/uwaitidinar Hope you enjoy it. You're going to have to put on your detective hat and sluth about but you can find all of the clues and info, and you might even meet someone who profited from it. Oh, I have in my lifetime met TWO people who Bought Kuwaiti Dinar at that time for 5cents and days later became multi-millionaires. It was not highly published event and was more of a word-of-mouth insiders secret. It happened so fast that you really just had to be in the right place at the right time and have an open mind To the possibility. I know those whom I've met are also invested in IQD and they are on this site. Verification of that is a privacy issue so they would have to speak up. Although I wouldn't tell anyone if I had a Gain there, so I really wouldn't expect or ask anyone else to post it either. Good Reading to all.

Not something of this magnitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
