Makes me nervous with China sliding into Iraq. They are going to be a real problem for us down the road! Just wish some of these countries can figure it out.

Thank you Ron...Not much has changed with the auction, but it is always good to keep an eye on it. 👍

3 Redemption Centers? Must just be an empty building! I have my own redemption center...it's called the bank!

Nader From The Mid East I agree...it is time to get out of Iraq. They just need to reimburse us for the money we spent to help them, our bases, the infrastructure. Oh, and lets not forget the lives that were lost helping them. We should not just walk out, and let them have everything for free. Everyone should be reimbursed, and they can do it. They are not the poor victims now. They have the ability to stand on their own two feet, and can and should revalue their currency, and pay everyone involved for giving them their freedom back. My rant!

That's funny...we are close though...In the US we call it sucking up or a suck up!

Now you are being a sook. 😝😅 What is a sook, and keep it clean!

BB...you are turning in to a little posting machine!

why in the world would I want euros?! I live in scotland. It is part of the uk. We opted out of going into the euro when it first came about and kept the British pound. Dear lord!. How ever, we as a Scottish nation have our own Scottish bank notes. Known as the Scottish pound. Oh and we left the eu so we are not considered part of Europe either. Lol Thank you for educating me nicely! It could have gone badly for me, talking about your pounds, but now I know a lot more. In the future I will only talk about your Scottish notes, and leave pounds out it!

I think she uses British sterling pounds 💷 I don't like to talk about a lady's pounds!

Or in BB's case...Euro's!

Wasn't it Mark Z who just said to make appointment next week? He is all over the page! If I am wrong...my apologizes!

People say a lot of crazy things about this investment. I just look at the basics...Iraq's currency is worth squat. They can't keep it there forever, especially with all the oil, gold, natural gas. Just to name a few plus's. We have their dinars, and when they ever get it revalued, we can trade it in for good old US dollars! It is just that simple to me.

Although I don't think there has been any banks that sell the IQD in the US anymore? If I remember correctly, there are a couple banks that are offering dinar. At least that is what I remember reading. One of knowledgeable people on here did say something along those lines, and had some names, but I didn't recognize the names, and they were not banks in the Northwest area that I live in. So, I really feel we are good to go, and don't listen to someone that says the government is going to stop this investment.

Next week?? Next week is great! I am available!

I like that word! I am hoping we "suddenly" get rich!

This is exactly what I was thinking about when I first read this info a couple days ago or yesterday. If we somehow get screwed because of for some reason not being allowed to invest in Iraq anymore,I'm sure there will be avenues in which to pursue an exchange. Maybe a dealer? Of course, we wouldn't get the CBI rate I'm sure... All of this on the premise of "IF". I think we are good to go. We can do currency trading with every other country's currency. I don't see them telling us we can't trade in Iraq's dinars. It doesn't make sense to me. I believe we are in a very good position right now.

With all this good news coming out of Iraq today, I do believe we are closer than ever. IMHO. Right on brother...it is getting very interesting. Don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I am starting to see the end zone!

Frankie is always telling us that it is ready to go, and today it doesn't work like that. Now, Mark Z is saying next week. They got their wires crossed today!

Saleh told Baghdad Today that Iraq’s external debt is very small & constitutes less than 30% of the country’s gross domestic product & this percentage is less than the standard & safe percentage, which is 60% according to European Union standards. This is great news for Iraq...they don't owe very much in todays standard. 30% of their domestic product. That will really put them in a great position, if and when they decide to revalue their currency. Man...really good stuff today in the news!

They can pave them any time they want to with gold & oil. Like they used to say on Beverly Hillbillies...Black Gold...Texas Tea!

Another huge step for Iraq. They are building their yellow brick road, and they have the oil and gold to make it happen!

Hopefully, working with this group from Dubai will make sure that Iraq gets off to a good start with this port. I am sure that they be a great partner to help them build and operate the new port. This is another big step for Iraq.

You forgot one thing BB...Go to the bank!!!

Let them sink or swim. There is no easy way to do it. Kind of like you teach your children the best you can, and when you turn them loose in the world, it is up to them to succeed! Iraq has had plenty of help, they have huge oil reserves, and gold reserves, so if they sink, it is totally on them. Nobody should be their keepers!

MarkZ Question: Have they already decided on a rate and date? Mark: My contacts in the ministry in Iraq told me they have set the rate. We are just not privy to that or the date. His contact is Frankie, and we all know how that is going to turn out!
