Linda Bower Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 If Daesh or ISIS hold large amounts of Iraqi Dinar, wouldn't that be funding terrorism to Revalue the currency at this time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjh Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 But if they RV they can afford to pay for the military aid and weapons to fight back. Broke and tired armies don't shoot straight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbi Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 That's only $860,000 worth of dinar at the official rate of 1182. At the street rate of 1280, it's only $781,250 It'll be spent in a week or two max! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueskyline Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Was it a theft for greed or are they trying to slow the monetary reforms 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeroy Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 That would be 20,000 bills if all were 50,000 dinars. 40,000 if 25,000 dinar and 100,000 bills if all were 10,000 dinars. How big a truck would they need? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Bower Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Rabbi, It may be worth $860,000 now, but with a 1:1 revalue it would be 1.25 billion dollars. That could buy a lot of terror. Maybe they are thinking in those terms. Edited August 17, 2016 by Linda Bower 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
