For his part, economic expert Hammam Shammaa said that removing zeros does not achieve economic benefit, noting that the only benefit is to reduce the amount of banknotes in circulation. Al-Shammaa added in an interview with PUKmedia , that removing zeros does not change the exchange rate system, suppose that 3 zeros were removed from the current currency, then each and a half dinar equals one dollar instead of 1500 dinars equivalent to one dollar, stressing that there is no economic return to removing zeros only achieves Ease of dealings, describing those who demand the removal of zeros in the patriarchs, indicating that the removal of zeros means an increase in costs for the state by issuing new currency notes, and the matter does not need to be done as long as things are going normal.
