rockfl9 Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 When an economist or business writer uses the term "dinar" they are speaking of the 1000 dinar note worth 86 cents... So when Salam Samisen writes that 1000 dinar (per month) is ABOVE the poverty level he is referring to that dinar . That would be the equivalent to $860. This is also the dinar referenced in the SIGIR at 1.17 dinar per dollar.. So the removal of 3 zeros has been in the works for some time. If Shabibi were in charge it would be done by now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfl9 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Look at history! in the last 200 years , how many times has a currency APPRECIATED 10% or more ? NEVER. It would have been a milestone event in banking history. In the past 200 years ,how many times has a currency been completely replaced by dropping 3 or more zeros . DOZENS, some twice. not much support for even a small RV! The pitiful small value to the current dinar may be an embarrassment to Iraqis. a LOP would change that in name without causing a financial shock . 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeetdog Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Look at the other side of this coin...Has there ever been a sanctions that brought a major OPEC country's currency from $3.40= 1USD to basically nothing...There's really no way to decide the final fate of the dinar...but with everything that's transpired since the imposed sanctions...I'd much rather be holding diner waiting for a growing higher percentages of success...than to not have a dawg in the race... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanctions has little to do with the current rate. That was the old Iraq. In 2003 the clock resets. A whole new economy. That Iraq doesnt exist , never will., i hope , n accept things as they are today..Iraq exists on CURRENT OIL and it is not enough to cover expenses. The more they must borrow the longer it will take to come to a balanced budget.

For someone with NO skin in the game, why should we ever listen to u? a disgruntled EX dinar holder who NOW is a foreign currency expert. NO one knows what Iraq will do in the future...so bringing up the past is irrelevant, except for those looking for the negative.

skeetdog Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) There's no doubt in my mine that the dinar will be RI anywhere close to what the propped-up dinar was before the sanctions...with the SH dinar...There too much documented numbers that support a RI for the dinar @ .34 to .86 cents on an open economy market float...and let the market adjust the value in the worth of the dinar on a international level...Keep in mind also that Iraq is RI'ing the dinar with a first time private sector with a international funded multifacet economy...The dinar has too much potential in just the rehabilitation of their economy...not the mention what the potential will be when the rehabilitation processed is infected into the already thriving economy...I think I'd just keep my seat on this ride...until it comes to a complete stop...

rockfl9 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I agree No one KNOWS what the CBI WILL DO.. But we should look at what they could possibly do and the probabilities ..Examine those in the light of the costs and effects.. THEY could simply continue with the current dinar and rate . No gain just print more TP. More WAIT. Based on history it is the most likely for at least the next 3-4 years. They could lift the zeros and gradually replace the paper notes. There is a cost , offset by what is spent to regularly refresh the paper anyway. Again NO gain but there is the danger that the bank could demonatize any one class on demand. Like the 50s. More WAIT! Then they could replace ALL the paper at one time. (30 day exchange).. This is most desirable by the CBI but the most expensve. NO GAIN but the dinar would begin to look like a modern currency with 50,25,10,5,1 classes. This I believe is precursor to becoming an internationally tradeable currency. Then there is the RVers DEAM. INCEASE the value of the existing dinar 1000 times! THIS would NOT BE EASY. TO avoid economic collapse they would have to print and distribute at least 4 new classes of dinar IN SECRET. And when they announced the change the people would have to believe it. HOW could they pull this off? I think this would remove all trust in the stability of the dinar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeetdog , I dont know where you are going with this???? ALL previous manifestations of the dinar have NO effect. in the present value, There is NO RI . Forget IT. WHAT multifaceted economy are you speaking of??? Iraq has nothing to sell but oil and gas. The jury is still out on the results of the Quait conference . Most of the offers were really loans , The GOI has not accepted them. Reconstruction will take 10 years, almost like starting over.

rockfl9 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 VERRY peculiar !!! Mr. E-rich-K ??? Says that a bank he bought dinar from 7 yrs ago , remembers that and now offers to buy back in exchange for gold/silver coin???? That is a new slant on bank stories. Except the BANK he referenced is NOT a bank but a metals dealer. Things are getting a little KINKY if you ask me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfl9 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 What a coincidence ! I just got a call for a BANK that I refused to buy dinar from 10 years ago. They are offering me one last chance. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasten your seat belt !!!!! I did not "ruby" your response...I'm the smiley face...Your right on your antics between the old and new currency retrospecs..I'll give you that...Where am coming from is not a thought process worth explaining to individuals that have a mental vendetta against Iraq's 'forming' open economy... There is NO RI..."Really"....Forget IT..."Really"...I did notice your capitalizing the words 'no and 'it'...your a very impressive kind of guy...good boy...see if you can find the search engine on that little keyboard... Do you ever read the stuff you spew??? You should try lessening and do some research to fine your own results and quit asking elementary questions...Through all your narcissistic wisdom in trying to explain how Iraq, their economy and their currency is a total scam....try looking up how to spell the words you are using to spew your vast amount of intelligents...Quait in the real world....starts the spelling with a capital "K"...and goes something like this.... "Kuwait"... Edited April 15, 2018 by skeetdog Brain fart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfl9 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Skeetdog: Thanks for the smiley. You are right it should be Kuwait... I do reread and try to be accurate , I will be more careful. But I am interested in your thoughts regarding increasing the value of the current dinar.

Rock, you may be right about the Millions, hell it will be Trillions in USD converted Value that would have to as you say “appear from thin air”. However, back during the 1st Gulf war when the Dinar dived to basically no value, Milions or Billions at the time of USD converted value disappeared.. so who knows what is possible.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfl9 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi GregHI:: Think. The reason the "sadam dinar " lost value it was printed without any backing .. It was worthless from the start. There was NO value., nothing to DISAPPEAR. That was a long time ago , I dont think there were any investors in the Sadam dollar. When it comes to dollars or euros only the UST or ECB can produce them . They have the VALUE to buy things in exchange in the free world. You cant say that about the IQD. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
