HSBC is clueless about the dinar...After being on the phone over an hour with a rep, putting me on hold numerous times, I finally got the "we don't deal with that currency" answer...The only foreign currency they deal with and carry "on hand" is Canadian and that would be the only one they could cash in....If I'm not mistaken HSBC jointly owns a few banks in Iraq...All my accounts are with them as well as my mortgage, so now I would have to open an account that would buy my dinar..What a hassle and an inconvencience...If anyone planned on cashing there forget it... Heads up!!
