Maybe, but it appears that Estonia is a member and their currency is only worth 0.076 cents. However all of the other members DO have internationally tradable currencies. So hopefully that is a requirement..? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officiallytook Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 EXACTLY HCR ! My thoughts...like I guess this means their international if they get this...let the flood gates open 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8th ID Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yes, you can look at these other currencies that are low like Vietnam and such and say they are only worth pennies like Iraq. Difference is, I can go into a bank and trade their currencies right now, with the dinar, I can't. Making them International puts us one step closer for them to bring out their true rate that we are all hoping for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is this gonna take? I agree, 10 Years Later, AND The Best Of Your Wednesday To You!!! I don't always trust the news articles are up to date or entirely accurate. The information given the Iraqi News Media may be incomplete or misconstrued in the articles. I caught a couple articles a while back that had misleading old information with some current information updated in them. So, "SUDDENLY" a 'SURPRISE" may be upon us while the necessary measures have been achieved but not in the news articles to prevent counter productive speculation. Just my thoughts, opinion, and In The Mean Time............................................ Go Moola Nova (YEAH AND YEE HAW, BABY!!!)!!! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
