has anyone noticed the Zimbabwean RTGS dollar , new series of zimbabwe dollar has went up almost 1700% in the past year? Here's the link https://tradingeconomics.com/zimbabwe/currency I was wondering if anyone has cashed in the older 2008 100 trillion series zim dollar recently and made a profit ? I'm new to this investment and I've heard that some investors in the older series has made some money on this newer series increase. Any info . on where to cash out if this is true would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like something is about to go down soon , I sure hope so ....

I'm in Iraq and people in the state dept. here have told me it will happen and it will be over a dollar . Also some higher than the state dept. , I can't mention who, have told me that it is possible if they were included in the basket of currencies . I know I'll take some hits for this but like synopsis said just because they're in the state dept. doesn't mean they know any more than us . Personally from everything I've read , followed and everyone I've talked to in Iraq from contractors to interpreters to state dept. , most say it's goin to happen just a matter of when which is my opinion as well . . That being said don't put anything in any investment you can't afford to lose . Personally I diversify and invest in stocks , cryptos , options and plan on getting into real estate . It's been working out pretty good so far . GLTA . BTW for those in options , RTN , Raytheon , BA , Boeing and Lockheed may be worth a look considering the successful strike against Syrias chemical facilities and the marijuana cryptos have been steadily climbing up the past week , I think based on the news of Trump passing laws to protect states that allow rec. mj from the fed .

" Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago " WB . I think Iraq took this quote literally when they started their "currency reform" messages... I've been overseas between Iraq and Afghan. for almost 13 yrs. and heard a lot of rumors on the dinar from the State dept. , fellow contractors etc.. I've read everything I can get my hands on about it and it's still a very speculative investment . That being said I loaded the boat as much as it can hold , imo , it's not a matter of IF but when .

I agree Artitech , I do think we'll see a little over a dollar and the Lord is definitely in control . I'm just not convinced on when yet but we'll see ..

IMO, Turkey don't even have close the potential Iraq does in terms of GDP so if Turkey can go from 117th to 18th , Iraq can easily do that much better . Turkey did a redenomination w/o a revaluation . Iraq has been saying for years they're going to do a redenomination WITH a revaluation . Iraq has never said they were going to LOP like Turkey but have said several times they are going to return to having a strong economy like their middle eastern neighbors . Iraq has always said their currency will increase a thousand times in value which is not a lop. The only question we all have is when. IMO , from all the news about them preparing to go international , I think sometime this year but it's Iraq we can only wait and see...

Turns out there are quite a few middle eastern exotic currencies so the story probably is true but it could be any one of 10-13 middle eastern exotic currencies (thinly traded currency ). I'd love for the IQD to hit ASAP but just trying to figure out what we're really looking at here.

Thanks Joe, I believe you but I'm wondering can anyone think of any middle eastern currencies that are not internationally tradeable at this time besides the IQD and Iranian Rial ?

Another good alkalizing drink is Phresh greens superfood in powder form from vegetables , grasses and sea algae just fyi and GO RV!!

Now go to this link of the CBI ... https://cbi.iq/news/view/592 and notice the date of the news streaming ..... as compared to the news streaming here ... http://cbi.3eyon-host.net/news/view/59

that being said I do think based on the recent news coming out of Iraq they will rv sometime this year though and hopefully within the next couple of mos. , I just don't give that link any credibility since all the news on that page is from 2016 , it seems like some sort of glitch back then

you got me , but click on any of the streaming news articles in the middle of the page where the rate 1.20 is and all the articles date back to 2016 .

I think that's an old out dated link to the CBI site . If you click on any of the news articles mentioned there it's dated back to 2016

Why do they keep playing with us like that ?

what is this alternate CBI site ya'll are talking about?

Around .83 was in the Ministry of Planning Feasibility Report as well . I'd take .83 in a heart beat...

Butiftldrm - I'm a contractor in Iraq and I was told by another contractor that when it went to 1.49 in 2009 that was no glitch . He said a state dept. guy told him they were going to revalue at that but Iraq wanted it to go to over $3 . He said the London exchange wouldn't let it come out that high so the minister of finance at that time told them Iraq wasn't ready then and they stopped it . Just passing along what he told me for what it is worth , don't shoot the messenger...

I agree totally with your view on this so called "donor " conference Synopsis . I also see it more like an investment conference w/ 1800 companies involved . I've been saying the same thing , not as articulate as you but pretty much along the same lines . Something seems like it's brewing now that so many companies and countries see Iraq stable enough to be a viable international trading partner , it's as if they already know what's about to go down and they want in....

it's interesting to say the least . they sure seem like they're about to go international with everything they got goin and you have to have a tradeable currency to start trading international with all these donor countries so I don't see how Iraq can't have a tradeable currency this year but time will tell

SoCalDInar , I wish , it's pretty close to the bank rate you see on XE.com $1- 1180 or 1200 thereabouts .

LGD, No I don't know if it will be thru coinbase . I just remember seeing an article saying they plan to launch their debit card in feb. and they showed a black card saying lite pay w/ visa in the corner . I just flip them off catalysts like that myself . I'm new to the cryptos but it's making me some money . Also FYI , some really good indicators to play with cryptos for your entries and exits is the Ichimoku clouds and set your MACD on 13 and 48 on coinigy.com (great platform for coins). I've been nailing everytime w/ those they're pretty reliable when the clouds cross from red to green at the same time as those MACD it's going up and vice versa , from green to red and macd cross it's getting ready to come back down ....

just fyi from here in al asad Iraq . The military just recently quit selling or exchanging Iraqi dinar last month . They've been exchanging it here for years by the px and just recently stopped . Maybe coincidence maybe not but just throwing it out there ....

also as a side note on cryptos for anyone interested - ck out XLM stellar is already partnered with IBM , CANN and a few other pot coins- Canada is about to legalize recreational marijuana in June or july Litecoin comes out with their own debit card in feb (I think it will be a visa from the pic shown , like the bit pay card) and I like STEEM , Ethereum and RIPPLE as well .

I also think it will happen this year but for different reasons . Unless i'm mistaken they're not going to get about 4 billion from the IMF unless they pass their budget . Also if they don't pass their budget soon they're supposedly going to suffer an economic collapse . Tied into their budget is the new laws needed for currency reform . As well as Davos , 2 new trade banks in Dubai ( which is supposed to have a budget of over 4 billion instead of a few hundered million ). Why open trade banks in Dubai especially if you don't even have a tradeable currency ? A lot of international interest lately from big investors as well . Maybe i'm looking thru dinar goggles but they sure seem to be making a lot of preparations to go international for a country that hasn't even passed their budget yet . Just IMO , I think any negative news about the budget is a smoke screen for them to buy time to finish preparing the banks and I think when they have everything in place with the banks to go international they will then pass the budget , pass the currency reform laws and we'll see our RV . I think it will be close to a dollar based on the ministry of planning feasibility report , inspector generals report to the US congress (in 2013 I think) , the future project of Iraq document and several articles from Iraq in the past saying so . All this is just my opinion .

wow don't see synopsis getting pumped up a lot , must be something really good coming our way..
