I keep hearing about Kuwait and the many millionairs that were made due to their investing in the Kuwait Dinar....I can not find anything concrete to back this up. Not doubting it happened but would sure like to know how it all went down. Might give me and others a little shot of adrenaline to know more details.

Good post, I asked the same thing the other day and nobody answered.

[Dogmatic1]

Probably because the exchange rates for that time period are not available. I have tried digging it up myself and cannot come up with rates. I have heard that the kuwaiti dinar had gone up to approximately $9.00, shortly after it rv'd, but I have no evidence, just hearsay. I thought, someone here at DV, had a father or a friend of their father's that made like, 50 million off of the kuwaiti dinar. I can't remember who it was, but, hopefully they will read this post and perhaps shed some light! Hope our dinars, do the same!

Dog, I saw the figure 7 in a chat yesterday, when did the kd rv do you know?

Now that is a funny statement...Thank you for a good laugh.... Think about it though..really...Someone made 50 million on the Kuwaiti Dinar...and you think there is even a remote chance they will read the posts on this site...that is funny... They are probably laying on a beach sipping umbrella drinks...not going over this site every night like we do... Thanks again..I am still cracking up.

unless he is going to make $500m when Iraqi Dinar RV's....ha

Dog, I saw the figure 7 in a chat yesterday, when did the kd rv do you know?

I saw where someone said it went up to around 9. But like I said, it was hearsay, and that was several months ago. I don't remember who it was. But also, I believe it rv'd sometime in 1990.

Did you not read my post!? I said someone's father or friend of his father's. This person who revealed this information was heavily invested in dinar - REMEMBER, IF YOU READ MY POST, IT WASN'T THIS PERSON WHO MADE THE MONEY! So, obviously this person isn't on the beach sipping umbrella drinks, he's in here with the rest of us schmucks! Don't even go there with me! Oh yeah, were you not the one, not long ago, acting like a guru? Ha! ...some people are funny!....

Read a chat posted on May 01 2010 with Ronin7043... I believe it was posted by lucky lucy....Ronin was in on the Kuwait rv...cashed in at 7.00 I believe....read up a very interesting post.

[mhl0521]

here is that chat....
http://dinarvets.com..._1

[letsroll]

This is my 1st post, been reading & gleaning info along the way ... I do hold Dinar, this topic has been of big interest to me for quite a while especially since some members here claim a RV will never happen and not at all like the $ figures people are wanting .... What did go down with the Kuwait Dinar before and after Saddam invaded / It either did or did not RV and people that held the Kuwait dinar got wealthy or they didn't ........ If Kuwait's Dinar RV'd why do people post in this forum that Iraq's will not ........ they must have some reason for being so dead set at claiming it will not .................

There has never been any proof of people making a ton of money when Kuwait rv'ed. It is so easy to come here and say anything you want and not have proof. You will never see any proof of that happening on this or any other site. The best you can hope for is to make a little money in the end, or at least come out even. JMO

So you are saying all that Kuwait hype was just that....hype? It sure seems that this would be easy to verify either way.

[brichards513]

Wow...So Touchy...It was still funny to me and worth the laugh... Was not meant to take a shot at you but....No I am not a guru...any more than beloved Sonny1 that everyone kissed up to. Where has he been since being wrong like everyone else. If I had anymore info....I would NOT post it in this forum anyway...People are too mean and nothing is gained for it....case and point...your comment above. I just want to wish everyone good luck in this investment and I am NOT offering anymore info.

Obviously more then just a few are a little touchy! Regardless - I still was impressed with your conviction back when you were making your stand for the RV earlier this year....

[Doc31]

Probably because the exchange rates for that time period are not available. I have tried digging it up myself and cannot come up with rates ...

Ditto

Thanks for the post

[Dogmatic1]

I did not like the tone of my last post...sorry...I always liked Sonny1 too.

For obvious reasons, I didn't like the tone of your first post. Your response was perceived by me as though, I was lying. My comments were so unbelievable, that you are still laughing about it. First of all, you didn't read it right, second of all, I have no reason to lie. As you can see, peeps have posted the actual chat I was talking about, that took place back in May. I know people made money off the Kuwaiti Dinar, back in the 90's, I have no reason to not believe this story. Plus, I have no way to verify it.
I also know too, that a small number of people can be mean on this site. I also know my personality, I don't let people get in my face, without letting them know, what I think. I remember when you posted your predictions and I especially remember the repercussions you received. I was not one of those bashers, instead, I felt sorry for you. I don't like being called out as if I were an airhead. So, now that I called you out on your response, you start to backpedal and then try to turn it around on me as being "touchy" and "mean". What I find so ironic, is your attitude, not divulging anymore intel because of how you were treated. So now, you become one of the bashers, then. Someone who wishes to no longer contribute anything positive or anything good, but just be cynical and negative. Okay, so now, I'm supposed to believe you wish everyone good luck with this investment? That sounds a bit contrived, don't you think?

[Steveruss]

I wonder if Adam was involved with the Kuwait rv, does anyone know ?

[kingfish]

Thanks for the post!

[bahtman]

Steveruss,
I have read several times where Adam has stated that he made some money from the Kuwaiti Dinar.
It may have also been mentioned in his book, but I'm not positive about that.

Iraq invaded Kuwait on 2 Aug 1990. The Iraqi army sacked the Central Bank of Kuwait and made off with all their foreign currency reserves, gold and reserves of Kuwaiti Dinars.

Operation Desert Storm commenced on 28 Jan 1991 and the cease fire was ordered by President Bush on 2 Feb 1991.

Because Kuwait's currency was "Corrupted", the value fell to almost nothing. De la Rue printed the Kuwait Dinars and the plates were not kept in Kuwait, therefore, it was a simple matter to print new notes using a different color ink. There was a window in which the old notes could be exchanged for the new notes.

As a civilian contractor, I arrived in The Islamic State of Kuwait late on 2 Sept 1991. None of the oil well fires had been extinguished. As we approached Kuwait City, I had the un-nerving sensation that I was descending into the bowls of hell.

By the time I arrived in country the exchange was nearly completed; only new dinars were accepted as legal tender and the exchange rate was $3.47 to the dinar--much the same as it is today. The only money made was by a very few who acquired old dinars and then exchange them for the new notes. This transaction was in country only.

I did not know any one, ex-pat or Kuwaiti who made a killing on this exchange. I seriously doubt anyone who they did.

Hope this helps,
Dawg

Now this makes sense to me and thanks for the insite...It was a different beast than Iraq Dinar but I kept hearing of people making fortunes overnight from the Kuwait deal but could not find anything that verified it. So either way, drawing a parallel to the Kuwait Dinar RV is probably hogwash.
