  1. Walk, they are so far from hyper-inflation, it's not even funny. Their inflation rate is 3%. Hyper inflation is defined as a rate in excess on 8% for a sustained period no less than 12 months. It's Econ 101.
  2. In addition, it won't be cash to cash exchanges, but done electronically, so no need to worry. Also. Only about 10% of the total dinar is in the small investor's hands. Mostly resting with countries and hedge fund groups.
  3. It still doesn't change the fact a country only LOPS because of hyper inflation, and that is NOT the case in Iraq. NO lop, period. ANYONE who says otherwise is simply trying to create drama where none exists.
  4. Glad I could help. I expect those with an ulterior motive to come here and bash away, but you really need to ask yourself what they are bashing? If I'm taking away business from a rip off artist, TOO DAMN BAD!! I would guess, based on his saying he was checking out prices at the various sites, that it probably came from a Forex site. I just copied and pasted what was there, and brought it here to share.
  5. Do you REALLY think over 20 countries have forgiven Iraq several TRILLION in debt, out of the goodness of their heart? France, Germany, US, Canada, Australia are just a few countries that have forgiven Iraq a boatload of debt, in return for Dinar. This is the very way Bush promised us the war would end up not costing us a dime. It's also what is going to allow the US to buy cheap oil for life from Iraq.
  6. Brought over from another site, and definitive in the facts. I was just comparing Dinar prices at the various sites and came across this under: Important Notices. I thought it was a good read, logical,and CALMING! Nothing new-- just some reassurance on an otherwise sleepy Sunday morn. --------------------------------------------------------- Recently, many rumors have been circulating about possible changes to the Iraqi Dinar One such rumor is that the Iraqi government is considering changing their national currency from the new Iraqi Dinar, which was introduced in October 2003 following the fall of Saddam Hussein from power, to an entirely different currency with new notes and denominations. Another suggests the large 25,000 dinar note will be made obsolete and unable to be exchanged. It is the opinion of the xxxx experts that these rumors are not something with which a potential Iraqi Dinar investor should be concerned. The majority of the “currency change” rumors have been initiated by individuals who have ulterior motives to profit from such currency changing fears. Most of the rumors about the uncertain future of the Iraqi Dinar are started by businesses or individuals looking to profit from investment into their own “secure electronic Iraqi bank accounts.” In order to drive potential investors in the Iraqi Dinar to these accounts, articles based on unfounded information are marketed by these business owners. The main goal of this misinformation is to increase feelings of fear and uncertainty in order to convince investors that holding physical money is an unsafe and unwise strategy. What is the only proper way to invest in Dinar according to these companies? You guessed it- placing your money in their “secure electronic accounts.” We’ll talk about these so-called secure electronic Iraqi bank accounts later in this article, but first let’s address the speculations that Iraq will totally overhaul its present currency. The bottom line is that the prospect of the Iraqi Government changing the nation’s currency in the near future doesn’t make sense on several levels. Governments generally change their currencies because they are 1) offensive, or 2) because the currency is being counterfeited successfully. In the case of the Iraqi dinar—it is neither. In 2003, the Iraqi Dinar was implemented with the approval of the Iraqi people. The new currency was changed from the offensive “Saddam” banknotes that were widely counterfeited to the new Iraqi Dinar which is one of the newest most secure currencies in the world. xxx reports that out of the tens of millions of banknotes they have inspected, cleared, exchanged, they have run across 0 (zero) counterfeit banknote. Furthermore, the Iraqi Government is working hard towards having their currency and economy fully integrated with the world economic market. In order to do this, there are significant accounting measures, procedures, and audits which must be accomplished internally and externally. To change the currency prior to being established on the world market would be counterproductive to the goal of integrating the Iraqi economy into the global economy. Some Iraqi Dinar investors don’t realize that a country won’t/can’t declare a currency worthless and just start transacting with a new currency; there has to be a changeover period. Countries don’t just erase wealth one day and say “everyone is starting from scratch.” Even after the fall of Saddam, the old Saddam currency was exchanged for the new Iraqi Dinar and wealth was maintained. Changing the currency would be very expensive and time consuming. Unlike the change from the old Saddam banknotes to the current Iraqi banknotes which took several months, any change in currency now would take many more months to complete the process. It just doesn’t make sense. If Iraq does decide to change their currency, it is more likely to occur after or in conjunction with a significant revaluation of the currency. A significant revaluation would necessitate the introduction of smaller banknotes for the sake of usability. ANYONE trying to stir up the LOP monster is just kicking the anthill to get a rise out of you. There will be no lop!
  7. It will NEVER happen! The real meaning behind it is the removal of all bills, 1,000 Dinar and above from circulation after the RV.
  8. Final draft doesn't mean signed contract. However, "IF" the 2011 budget does indeed start December 1st, and "IF" indeed the RV is in the budget, and "IF" indeed the smart cards for December have been reduced to 250 Dinar from 1,250, then we "should" see the RV by the end of this month.
  9. .85 has been thrown around here like candy, as has the rates up to $9.00. However, as an economics person, that rate doesn't work on several fronts. First, Iraq was forgiven most of their debt to countries. Why would they be allowed this, if they were going to RV at such a low rate? Second, that would create a huge disparity in trade values. Look at the current trade war between the US and China. I'd be happy with .86, but think the actual rate will be in the low $3 range.
  10. I can't see how the hundreds of thousands of investors can cash in during that small window, and I'm sure the IMF would have some say in that as well.
  11. Can't see it being that low, as the speculators would go nuts buying it up. No less than $1.50.
  12. Agreed. The anger and negativity is fueled by their greed and desperation.
  13. I'd be surprised if he took the entire 30 days, but this Iraq, so who knows?
  14. It will happen, when it happens. For someone who's been on this site as long as you have, you seem very stressed over something we have no control of.
