agree 10YL , l liken it to a habitual liar that thinks no one knows they are lying , it's a sense of blindness to reality so to speak ... cheers and all the best

same circus different tent ....... thanks for the updates yota, butifldrm

correctomundo jg1 , years past ive seen the decimal point show from time to time ... and here we sit

US Forces ....... iraq's hope for stability

Q1.) no payments to citizens from oil proceeds ... Q2.) no hcl that was to be established post saddam liberation. ( enter corrupt officials from top to bottom ) it has never happened as planned to date ... Q3) iqd value was in fact high officially but during the iran / iraq war , surplus state money was severely reduced to next to nothing causing the unofficial rate to be almost 2000 iqd to 1 usd , saddam invaded and stole kuwait's money in an attempt to revive iraqs economy history reads how that worked out and at that point thats where many began to watch or speculate in iqd... here is some relative economic data from 1989 - 2003 if interested.. cheers dv https://www.cia.gov/library/reports/general-reports-1/iraq_wmd_2004/chap2_annxD.html

exactly , when we see those ( below 250 ) the new rate will be active to use them so yea imo the 250 , 500 are to meet a current currency need ... tapping foot waiting

stay with it

Floridian i know im trying to compare usd to iqd here but in america there are 12 denominations in bills. Seven are still being printed: $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100. There are five larger denominations that are no longer being printed. But these are in circulation among collectors and are still considered legal tender: $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, and$100,000.

at same time .... LD's and the new rate to work with them, jmo of course.

markb , incredibly sad but true , it would be slightly different if leaders were making positive changes for the citizens and internationally for iraq but that simply never happens there will always be thieves and crooks in every level of society , it still boggles the mind that not anyone they ever put in leadership has any respectable attributes for change ( accept imo shabibi ) even if it would cost them everything to have those standards , a true picture of weakness continues ..... oh well continuing to watch and wait , cheers dv

lol 10 , just an observation over the years i think these peeps can grow a beard in 30 minutes now if they could only make decisions as fast .... lets go goi

My hope is it will not , depending how one interprets some articles i can understand how that opinion could be formed , i just want something to change with the currency whatever it will be ... all the best

agree DWS112 , most countries that lop zero's seem to not make all the other necessary hard economic changes that must accompany therefore they continue to sink , i think turkey current inflation rate is in the 20% range with Turkeys annual inflation rate somewhere around 100% but im no international economist so take what i type as u will and Iraq has not really even began its market economy , in iraqs current state inflation is very low ... cheers dv

thanks dream , if maliki's bunch is happy then maybe they do need some " sticks in the cupboard " to keep them in check ....

no rush elections were just last May ....
