I always wanted to know how the Dinar ruse ( ah investment) got started ? Back in 2002/3 ? a MR Shabbibi started the Irquistan trading stamp company .. He called it CB Inc. Irquistan was coming out of an economic hiatus so he thought the stamps would liven up commerce. He printed a line of stamps called Dini. They sold like hot cakes , The Irkis as the natives are called began using them like real money for buying and selling everything. They were colorful and official looking even though not worth much more than the paper they were printed on. At the time visitors to the country sometimes called "contractors" would take home pocketfuls of them to show family and friends. WOW they would say they are pretty , how can I get some. Go to your local stamp merchant , if they don't have any they will order for you. You can get a million for less than a grand! Business was soo good the CBI issued a new 25K version. It was recieved very well and soon nearly all the new ones were sent out of the country. This was a problem as the Irkies complained that all they had left were the old wrinkled and torn ones. Mr. Shabbibi heard the complaints and declared that NO Dini would ever be shipped out of the country. Left without a supply the stamp merchants stopped selling.The Irquistan government went a step further and declared the Dini an Irquistan exclusive making it illegal for anyone to take Dini out of the country. Triggering a bigger demand elsewhere. Seeing a profit a group of enterprising individuals called "dealers" found that they could find "couriers " who would go to Irquistan and bribe the customs to ship out suitcases of Dini labeled as "dirty laundry. Of course the dealers could charge a little more. That's it so far. Come back next time for the next episode called " The rise of the Guru's".
