I've been holding dinar for 5yrs or so. I'm in the same shape as a lot of you. I own a mortgage company . As you all know that's been great lately. Enough with the introduction. All that I know is what I read. Not from this site--even though I really enjoy it. I'm probably a large increase in the number of hits this site gets. And, most of you know that's how much worth the site has. Going on with what I have to say--I went to http://www.xe.com/ucc/ and converted my dinars to $ and got the usual qoute of 1.00 IQD = 0.000857633 USD Then right above the quote there was More on the Iraqi Dinar . So, me being interested clicked on it. At the bottom of the introduction paragraph was "Iraq plans to slice three zeros off currency notes." In the middle of the short article was this qoute-- "Kasim said that the central bank expected to start rolling out new notes by the end of the year or the beginning of 2011. Iraq has 25 trillion dinars in circulation, officials say. An Iraqi cabinet committee ordered the change in 2007, but the central bank did not think it appropriate until recently, Kasim said. The dinar's value will remain unchanged, he said." For those that didn't catch it--"Kasim said that the central bank expected to start rolling out new notes by the end of the year or the beginning of 2011". Slice three zeros off currency notes and central bank expected to start rolling out new notes by the end of the year or the beginning of 2011 !!! So LOP and NEW NOTES!!! I hope and prey the R/V or R/I takes place before any of this happens. I think there will be a lot--I mean lot of angry Countries and Us small chickens in the hen yard out there. I think there are a lot of very knowledgable people on this site and we are all wishing for the same end to this fantastic ride we are all on. This may be old news to some of you but it wasn't to me. For those of you that want to verify and read the articles they are all from "Reuters News Content" Copyright laws do apply. Just follow the intructions in the post. GOOO R/V
