i do not believe the dropping off the zero's is to prevent "counter-fieting" (jackdavis1364). it is so that "all" citizens can carry money. also, so that trade can take place in the surrounding opec countries. the economic value is currently out of scale and as previously stated to buy a stick of gum is crazy with the amount paying. so changing the value (RV) of the currency also changes the value of the stick of gum, bread, gas, etc. this is to put the economic value to scale appropriate and in line with the other opec nations currency. the ultimate goal is for them to have a common value dinar that is worth the same in iraq, kuwait, etc. in order for this to happen, the values at each country must share equal. of course i am only speculating as i have been for the past year and a half.
