Mammaw Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 What would make them do that? Pulling in more dinar? Wouldn't that be sweet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckFinley Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 The two questions I have are: 1. What size domination were turned in (are there more 10k notes than 25k)? 2. How much dinar has been taken in vs how much has been printed? There really can not be that much out there since they have been buying for years now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really can not be that much out there since they have been buying for years now. This is so confusing to me. I am always reading that Iraq has 40 - 60 trillion dinars "out there", so how can they RV with so many dinars in circulation and under mattresses. Then, I read how they are taking in so much dinar with their auctions, over so many years (as you said, Chuck). So why does Iraq report that their M0, M1, M2 (whatever it is) shows a lot of dinar out there, while at the same time reporting that they are taking in so much dinar in their auctions. Both reports can't be right, right? Can any one explain? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last series of Dinar we're printed between 2013---2015. So that means that the IQD was printed up until 2015. Between investors, attrician, lost, burned , stolen, blown-up and auctions it has to be a heck of a lot ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I start see all that Chucky Money rolling in, then that would be a good sign. Also, if I noticed fewer and fewer 25k and more 10k notes then we know for sure we have pulled in the bulk of those 25k notes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floridian Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) I figured, by what Wiljor posted above, that they removed about $26 billion dollars worth of dinar in the past 15 months. $26 Billion x 1182 dinar = almost 31 trillion dinar Can someone check this? I'm lousy at math. If this is correct, then they've removed half the dinar in circulation in the past 15 months.

I like where you guys are going with this...can't be too much left out there...those 500 officials in question should pull in a nice chunk as well probably enough to pull the trigger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridian Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've heard there are 40 to 60 trillion dinars out there - probably 60 trillion. Did they do auctions before January 2016? If so, how many dinars did they take in before 2016? Wiljor, is there a chart for 2015? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3n1 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 not trying to pour cold water on ya floridian cause i like your energy so don't take this as a negative at all ,its not meant to be that ..... but u cant figure this out by working the numbers, its like trying to guess the 2nd coming of Christ one can watch for the ( signs ) but u will never know the time same as this ( just got to be ready ) the auctions have been operating for many years, i remember cbi news articles years ago where they talked of burning / destroying currency as it was brought into the bank the problem is we don't see all the functions of the cbi they put a certain amount of currency back out in circulation those numbers are never published, the cbi list m numbers but who really knows if they are accurate most countries cook the books , much of those numbers can be projections don't trust me thou study m1-4 banking here is a short definition about the m1-4 money supplies ...... Definition of M0, M1, M2, M3, M4 Different measures of money supply. Not all of them are widely used and the exact classifications depend on the country. M0 and M1, also called narrow money, normally include coins and notes in circulation and other money equivalents that are easily convertible into cash. M2 includes M1 plus short-term time deposits in banks and 24-hour money market funds. M3 includes M2 plus longer-term time deposits and money market funds with more than 24-hour maturity. The exact definitions of the three measures depend on the country. M4 includes M3 plus other deposits. The term broad money is used to describe M2, M3 or M4, depending on the local practice. so to make a long post longer its very complicated and so thankful to yota for unending articles ,try to imagine any country today forming a democracy it is a monumental task for sure without all the huge setbacks iraq has faced it seems flat out crazy at times but interesting following along ,don't get down or discouraged if this does not match/fit someone's guess on the timing many here have been around the block for many years some will need a few more laps. this is all just my opinion and conjecture of course .. Peace ,,all the best dv 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
