Well...............I'm sorry to hear your feeling that Walking Stick is pretty accurate. Last night, I read something by Frank and Walking Stick on Dinar Guru. I posted it in the rumor section because I didn't know where else to post it. It really shook me up. They are talking about redenomination and then reinstatement. To me, this means we will get 3x our money. Hardly worth all the time we've devoted to the dinar, not to mention the money. This Walking Stick guy is supposed to have a business in Iraq and supposedly knows what's going on. Go over to the rumor section and read what they said. It's got me pretty "shook up".

Thanks, guys. It just makes me so mad to think something like this could happen after we've waited so long. Sitting at this computer, keeping up with Iraq, would have been a colossal waste of 7 years, and twice that for others.

This is unbelievable! Now these idiots are talking about a redenomination and then a reinstatement. This means we get 3x our money. That's it! I will have a fit if this happens. 8-19-2017 Newshound Guru Walkingstick ...a redenomination is employed by various reasons...a redenom is employed in a number of manners...strain on fin market. That is why they are doing an RV. They are laying down the foundation for their local currency. These monetary steps have been employed the psychological effect on the gen’l population to permit the intro of lower denom notes. Which Frank [Guru Frank26] thinks may happen on the 21st thru the ATM’s... 8-19-2017 Intel Guru Frank26 [reference Guru Walkingstick post 8-18-2017 below] I will help you a little bit more ...This is what he said. For those of you who are interested he referred to a redenomination (...that’s what they are going through right now). And it follows by a reinstatement of their currency. You see a long time ago when the Iraqi dinar was taken off the board the rate of $3.00 what ever it was, was frozen. This was different from Kuwait. They are going to RI (reinstatement) after they finish with the RD (redenomination) . And this is all a part of their MR (monetary reform). They are going to reinstate which is a part of the redenomination and this is all a part of the revalu-ization of their currency. I want to tell you that a redenomination is employed. Do you understand that word “employed” for various reasons...WS is trying to tell you why they are going through this redenomination of their currency right now.

Thanks, Walter. Anyone have any ideas what this is all about? A page close to him: Sadr asks his supporters to stay silent for three days and invites them to wait for orders Policy access_time 2017/08/19 22:14 chat_bubble_outline Number of readings: 343 Baghdad today – follow-up A close page of the leader of the Sadrist movement Moqtada al-Sadr called on his supporters to remain silent for three days, saying that the matter came at the request of the official and invited them to wait for orders. “Yes, you defended your leader as much as you could and what you own,” said Mohammed Saleh al-Iraqi, who is known for being close to the leader of the Sadrist movement. “Your demonstrations were glorious for the free speech and you rejected the hateful voices. Thank you.” “Now your leader asks his fans to keep calm and silence for three days in all social networking sites and not to publish at all except for the utmost necessity and to remain calm about the elections until they issue orders and decisions directly from him and leave the gossip in all aspects of life and do not quarrel and disagree and do not divide and unite Your ranks and do not confuse the enemy with you and your leader. ” He said, “Please, please abide by the orders, please, pray and love for your country, please, and you will not lose your leader … and when it is regrettable, oh God, I have reached .. Oh God, I have reached … Oh God, I have reached .. Oh God. http://baghdadtoday.news/ar/news/11988/صفحة_مقربة_منه_الصدر_يطلب_من_مناصريه_الصمت_لثلاثة_ايام_ويدعوهم_لأنتظار_الاوامر

The table says "Currency Issuance Expenses". It doesn't say it's to print new (lower) denoms. Aren't countries always printing currency because the old ones wear out? Why does Delta jump to conclusions and get people all riled up when he's only guessing. Frank and his group are constantly saying "no rate, no date", but then they pump people up with their constant guessing. They think they always have some kind of proof, but it never pans out. Very frustrating!

Thanks for the laughs, guys - drag queens and suitcase hats! Hahahahaha

"Washington is trying to persuade Baghdad to provide adequate guarantees to Erbil to postpone the referendum." The United States believes that "ensuring a fair share of Iraq's annual budget for the Kurds, may push Barzani to consider postponing the referendum." All those Washington elites want to exchange their dinar, just like us, and they don't want Kurdistan to mess up the plans.

Sorry, I've been out all day and just got back. I see DT answered. Not the way I would have answered, but you get the gist.

Oh! That's awful. She seems like a nice lady and posts a lot of articles over there.

Sorry, Mrs. Classy did not post a link. I got this from another dinar board.

Thanks to Mrs. Classy for above article. After reading, I still like Abadi better than this guy.

Hajim al-Hassani may have been voted in as speaker of Iraq's parliament more because of who he is not, rather than who he is. The grey-bearded 50-year-old took the position reserved for a Sunni Arab by a large majority of 215 votes out of 241 deputies present. He was one of only two Sunni Arab MPs who were acceptable for the high profile, but largely powerless post. The rest were either members of the Shia list - or had connections with the former Saddam Hussein regime which was unacceptable to Shia deputies who hold a majority in the parliament. The only other possible candidate - outgoing President Ghazi Yawer - had ruled himself out. Exile Born in Kirkuk and a graduate of Mosul university, Mr Hassani moved to the United States in 1979 and spent most of his working life there. You should be part of the suffering of your people... who suffer from power outages and water shortages... part of their suffering in facing terrorism Hajim al-Hassani He has degrees in agriculture and economics from the universities of Nebraska and Connecticut. He then spent 12 years working in Los Angeles, where he became head of an investment and trading company. During that time he became an activist in the anti-Saddam opposition and rose through the ranks of the Iraqi Islamic Party (IIP) rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood movement. In 2003, he returned to his homeland after the US-led invasion that toppled Saddam and took up a deputy post in the Iraqi Governing Council. During that time, the IIP emerged as a strong force in the restive Sunni province of al-Anbar and Mr Hassani helped negotiate an unsuccessful truce with the insurgents of Falluja which held until April 2004. Insurgency Mr Hassani was appointed industry minister in the interim government of Iyad Allawi that was set up after the US handed sovereignty back to Iraqi hands in June 2004. Hassani won with a vote of 215 in the 275-seat chamber But his ministry's privatisation programme has failed to revive Iraq's economy which remains crippled by the anti US-insurgency. And he provoked outright anger from many of his Sunni co-religionists when he backed the US-led assault on Falluja late in 2004. The IIP resigned from the government and Mr Hassani chose to be banished from his party while he stayed on in his ministerial position. He later helped with the distribution of humanitarian aid and reconstruction in the devastated city after the assault on Falluja was over. Sectarian differences Mr Hassani is considered an outsider by most Sunni Arabs, but as an Islamist - if a moderate one - his is also viewed with suspicion by the secular Shia tradition represented by Mr Allawi and his supporters. Analysts say he may not be unifying figure that is needed to heal rifts after the rancorous process that led to his election - a process that was intended to be a mere formality. Hassani has been expelled from the Iraqi Islamic Party Nor - after the Falluja schism - is he best placed to persuade disillusioned Sunni Arabs to resist the insurgency and rally behind the new government - Sunnis make up about 20% of the Iraqi population, but because of a wide-scale boycott and fears of violence during polling, they hold only about 5% of parliamentary seats. However, in his new role Mr Hassani has signalled as desire to heal sectarian and ethnic differences and put the people's needs first. "The Kurd has put his hand in the Arab's hand and the Shia has taken the Sunni's hand so they could all walk side-by-side along with their Christian and Turkmen brothers," he said in his acceptance speech. And he warned MPs: "You should be part of the suffering of your people... who suffer from power cuts and water shortages... part of their suffering in facing terrorism".

Okay, thanks for the information 3n1. Very helpful.

I've heard there are 40 to 60 trillion dinars out there - probably 60 trillion. Did they do auctions before January 2016? If so, how many dinars did they take in before 2016? Wiljor, is there a chart for 2015? Thanks.

I figured, by what Wiljor posted above, that they removed about $26 billion dollars worth of dinar in the past 15 months. $26 Billion x 1182 dinar = almost 31 trillion dinar Can someone check this? I'm lousy at math. If this is correct, then they've removed half the dinar in circulation in the past 15 months.

This is so confusing to me. I am always reading that Iraq has 40 - 60 trillion dinars "out there", so how can they RV with so many dinars in circulation and under mattresses. Then, I read how they are taking in so much dinar with their auctions, over so many years (as you said, Chuck). So why does Iraq report that their M0, M1, M2 (whatever it is) shows a lot of dinar out there, while at the same time reporting that they are taking in so much dinar in their auctions. Both reports can't be right, right? Can any one explain?

I'd be thrilled with 10 cents to start. That's where you say it's got to start somewhere. But start at 1184 (or one of those stupid numbers)? Nooooooooo, please no. The only way for that to go is down, not up.

So no RV? The Kaperoni float, instead? I won't be very happy with that.

Maliki sought political asylum in Russia, of all places? I would never think he would do that in a million years. How many Arabs live in Russia? I doubt Maliki speaks the language. Cold in Russia. Desert in Iraq. So many huge differences! Maybe, because Russia took Snowden, Maliki figured they would give him asylum too.

Thanks, Thuggie.

Okay, help me out. I don't get it. let us all redouble our efforts, both of them, what do they mean by "both of them"?

Okay, thanks Mylilpony.

WOW! Thanks Mylilpony. I never heard anything like that. It makes sense. Where did you hear this? Can you post anything that I can read further on the subject?

WOW! Thanks, Yota. I believe it now. I'm amazed that they are holding a rally for the Kurds in Tennessee, Germany and Sweden. Whooda thunkit?

I find it hard to believe that they are demonstrating in Nashville for the Kurds. It sounds so funny that something like that could happen. Maybe it's "fake news" from Iraq.
