GregHi

Climber, just my opinion. Somehow I have one of those 100 Trillion dollar notes also. Looks like they are simply introducing a NEW currency with a value against the dollar. To me it sounds like there is no change in the value compared to the dollar with the OLD currency like the 100 Trillion dollar note that I have.. but I may be completely wrong, and I hope I am..

Been away for a long time. Checking in and I see the news seems pretty good right now.. I certainly hope this is finally it!

Then MAGA!!!!!

Thanks Romad! My Kurdish friend has always had the same type of opinion regarding their lack of getting anything done and the massive corruption over there. Now it has been several years since he served there as a translator, but he does go back to Erbil once every other year and of course stays in contact with his friends and family there.. There was one time that I know of that the Kurds and Baghdad met to discuss the exchange rate possibly rising, but that was January of 15 I think and it was put off due to low oil prices at the time.. So we cross our fingers, hopefully someday they get it done, or some foreign power forces their hand.. we hope, pray and wait.. ;)

Sounds like buzz was a little more than buzzed on some cosmos... 🍸 🍹 🍷 😵

I was thinking the same thing.. I remember looking up the value of Saudi Arabia’s currency years ago and it was not even worth .50 compared to the USD. So yea, he has no clue what he is talking about..

Yep, the rat hole is what everybody thinks because of the fake media story.. I guess it sounds a lot better from a US Military standpoint that he was hiding in a hole from us vs he was just hanging out at his Cousins house until his Cousin drugged him.. lol who knows..

Hi Jg1, Thats a good question, not real sure other than maybe the Bank ATMs charge a lot more in fees.. I know there is one other member here that took his profile picture outside of a bank where an ATM was located, he may know better. I just know my friend said he was always able to get USD or IQD out of the ATMs for many years prior to 2010 (when he left Iraq to come here).

Thanks Karsten! If he said Sadam crawled out of a hole, that’s all I need to know. The guy is a fake. Believe it or not, Sadam was never in a hole. I don’t know why that story was put together by the media other than to make him look like a rat underground or something. The truth is Sadams Cousin drugged him to get the reward money. He was totally out in his Cousins house when the special forces were notified and came to get him.. no crying was involved either.. lol.

Hi Chuck, i saw my friend probably about 3 months ago. I asked him if he had spoken with his friends in the Kurdish Parliment lately and he said yes but it was just personal conversation about family and friends. I know if there is something major that he is told, he will let me know right away, but I guess if you think about it, when we talk to friends we haven’t seen or talked to in awhile, one of the last things we would tend to talk about is their work or how the government/ Country is doing etc.. so I understand him not really wanting to ask those questions to his friends, even though we want the intel.. obviously if he does text or tell me something of substance, I’ll relay it here for everyone in the rumors section like I have done in the past.

Karsten, Can you please tell me the exact details this Ghost guy mentioned, when he said he was there when Sadam was captured? I know the true story on this via my Kurdish friend and this will for sure tell me if he was indeed there or just full or bs..

I think Okie finally ran out of fuel and crash landed Into the antenna hitting the button in his pocket which made all the back screens flicker and show the new rate. Tony seeing the commotion swallowed an entire hot dog outside the bank, passed out and somebody hit the wrong alarm for an ambulance.. how have we become so gullable over the years with these guru lies???

Hey Adam.. I’m not really sure I understand the question, please forgive me.. but if you mean do they have a choice to use USD or Dinar, then that is correct.. for many years their ATM machines outside of banks can dispense both USD and IQD, it’s their choice of which currency they want to withdraw from the machine. This is a fact that I know from my Kurdish friend that was over there for many years up until 2010 translating for the US Army..

Greg, I’ll text you tonight..

Crane, despite popular belief, the Iraqis don’t really care what the value of their currency is compared to the USD value. They use USD for big purchases and Dinar for small purchases, because there are less zeros to deal with using USD for big purchases.. look at it this way.. if they wanted to buy an item that was worth say $25 USD, they could pay $25 USD (a $20 and a $5 bill.. 2 total notes) or they could pay in Dinar (a 25,000 Dinar note and a 5,000 Dinar note... also 2 bills roughly).. it is what they are used to doing for almost 15 years now. it doesn’t matter in the end to them. I hope that explanation helps..
