The site is very informative. It clearly states that at the moment the cards are only used for salaries, and have been for some time. Also that they are only for use inside Iraq. There is a list of participating agencies and it looks like they are only of any use to government related employees. A point that many seem to overlook is that the Iraqis have to pay 10 thousand dinar for the card, which probably explains why only a relatively small number are in use.

They probably thought they were going to Nelson Mandela's funeral. It was reported that he had died but then retracted.

Goes down every morning and comes back up every evening. Been the same way for years. If the dollar was really that predictable we would not need an RV

Global policy, in the last 12 months they have closed operations in Thailand and Korea. It is a bit of a myth that companies will make huge profits from an RV. The benefits will come from business growth, not overnight.

Would like to think you are on the right track. If it does come about, I do not think it will be on the 30th but effective midnight on the 30th. There has to be an effective point in time and the start of a new accounting period would be most appropriate.
