Some history!! Historically relevant for us is the fact that the Dinar use to be allot higher then it is now $3 And they had about 30 billion Dinar notes printed that represented its value when it was at this rate now mind you this is before the dif types of currency in Iraq started to get printed and you will understand this in a min when I quote the retired Brigadier General who was tasked on exchanging the Dinar for the NID the notes we hold now People in the past have argued over the rate and inflation and all that garbage here is a quote from the Brigadier general who actually exchanged the currency out talking about the Rates and why “I lead the currency exchange program in Iraq. I was stationed in Iraq from September 2003 to January 2004. The currency exchange program ran from October 15 2003 to January 15 2004. Currency exchange was necessary for five reasons; (1) Two currencies were in circulation, the old Swiss Dinar in the north and the Saddam Dinar in the Rest of the country; (2) Inadequate numbers of denominations existed, the Swiss Dinar came in 3 denominations and the Saddam came in only two denominations; (3) The currency was poorly made and easily counterfeited; (4) The Saddam Dinar had been devalued and the public had little trust in it; (5) The presence of Saddam On the currency was inappropriate. But, in the great majority of the country, they had the Saddam Dinar with Saddam's face on it. There were basically only two denominations of that: there was a 10,000-dinar Note, which was worth about $5, and there was a 250-dinar note, which was worth about 12.5 cents, 12 cents. The reason its value had dropped so low was because of Saddam’s Inflationary monetary policy. In comparison, back in the '80s, before the Saddam Dinar came about, the rate of exchange was about $3 to one Dinar. But because of Saddam There was now a total upside-down situation where one dollar was worth about 2,300 Dinar. ”

Peter Hug, Kitco’s Global Trading Director says the impact of the purchase is difficult to quantify. He added though it makes sense that Iraq bought gold to diversify their reserves and support the country’s currency, the dinar. “Iraq is generating oil revenues again and they are going to deploy some of those cash reserves into gold,” explained Hug. The question, he said, is how to quantify the reaction to the gold price. “The purchasing of this gold sort of came at a time which coincided with the issues in Ukraine. I certainly think it helped push the pricing higher while the Ukraine safe haven demand was occurring,” Hug told Kitco News’ Alex Létourneau in an interview. “I can’t quantify how much of that push from the thirteen to $1400 level could be attributed to Iraq buying of gold or primarily a Ukraine driven event,” said Hug. Iraq purchased 36 metric tons of gold in March, the largest purchase by a nation in three years. According to news reports, the Central Bank of Iraq bought gold to support the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies. TheInternational Monetary Fund’s website said as of August, Iraq held about 29.8 tons of bullion.
