RON Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: They tell us on July the 18th we will be official but they keep hinting that we're already part of the WTO. They got some guy from the WTO saying that the WTO got this on our WTO calendar already. The newscast saying that is the day Iraq is fully accepted with no hold back or limitations on our currency. FRANK: This is very good news. IMO the new exchange rate should be well before that date. MarkZ On the Treasury side the rumors are dropping left and right. Everthing from “It’s tomorrow” to “oh no- they delayed it another month” Crazy rumors - same sources are telling different people different things. That tells us its “MISINFORMATION” and it is done on purpose. Stay calm and remember the fundamentals. Iraq is still looking great. They still have the new ATM’s, they still have conversations saying they are going to delete the zeros. And they are still having the conversations about releasing the lower denominations in July…things still look great. Clare Article: "Dinar Explainer 1: Why Iraq has Two Exchange Rates" Quote: "On a recent webinar organized by the Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC), Professor Frank Gunter of Lehigh University explained the causes and effects of Iraq's dual exchange rate..." 1. Excessive Demand for US Dollars Internationally. 2. Internal Demand for Dollars. 3. De-Dollarization Efforts by the New York Fed: The New York Federal Reserve has restricted dollar transfers to reduce dollar flows to Iran and Syria. They have also excluded over two dozen Iraqi banks from transactions, which has increased the complexity and demand for dollars in Iraq. Pimpy Article: "Customs complete the first phase of the automation project and reveals its revenues within 5 months" They've been kept in the dark ages for a long time. Everybody was doing everything by paper and pencil and it was kept that way for a reason. Banking and other institutions are seeing their companies change with this new technology are going to be excited. It's going to make their work a lot more efficient...it's only going to get better for Iraq. This is one of those way they can generate revenue other than from oil. This is exactly what they need to diversify. Quote "revenue rate will raise by the end of this year to 200% from what it was in 2022." That's a hell of an increase. It's going to boom over there. MarkZ there are some things out of Iraq that should make us feel good today. Article: “The President of Iraq approves the 2024 budget schedules” Rashid approves a number of laws including the 2024 budget tables. My contacts over there are saying they got the budget tables posted in the Gazette, but did not get a new rate. No kidding - we kept telling you it's not in the budget. They let us know that they figured the budget of 2024 on an average price of a barrel of oil at $80 USD. This is progress.

This is going to be official, July the 18th. FRANK: To join the WTO Iraq does not need a currency with value. No, that's not the point. Iraq needs a currency that has no restrictions, no handcuffs, no limitations in order for it to float on an international market - whatever the case this is very good. Let's hope this information is correct..! MarkZ Something fun popped into the news yesterday, both from banks and exchange locations in Iraq. There was a notice that they are expecting distribution of lower denomination bills in July. Both of the confirmations I received this morning from contacts on the ground inside of Iraq used the same words that they were told to expect them to distribute/disperse lower denominations in July. That tells us how stinking close we are. Why would they need these lower denominations - unless the currency is worth more? Let's hope this information is correct..!

RON Militia Man Iraq...increased their non-oil revenues by 6%. That in itself is a massive amount. Is it going to grow? Of course it's going to grow. They're just getting started. It's going to be amazing. Frank26 Is Iraq a member of the WTO? 'Well, Frank you say they're a member of the WTO, they qualified for it.' But do you see any official paper that tells you they're a member of the WTO. 'No.' Why not? Until you see the new exchange rate. 'But you don't have to have a high exchange rate to join the WTO. Why do you say something like that?' Because commitments were made in contracts that were guaranteed by Sudani for all these people through the WTO investments for the economic reform of Iraq. Mnt Goat The UN, IMF and World Bank all on one day, Thursday, noted significant progress that Iraq has made in recent years, despite ongoing challenges. The reinstatement spigot has been opened. The direction is now clear. MarkZ I have been in touch with a number of contractors - projects that were moth-balled and stalled now suddenly have funding in place. 2 contractors in Iraq believe they will see their rate (about $3.90) this week for their projects. I find this very interesting. Where is the money coming from to start these massive projects. Their whole budget is about $162 Billion. But one contractor was told they are getting ready to start a $150 billion dollar project. Which means there is a lot more money moving than what we are seeing right now.

Militia Man The executive order 13303 was signed by the United States President. I take it as a positive...What does it mean? It means to me that there's some protections for Iraq...and also protects the interests of the United States of America...I'm really excited to know that they have signed it...a couple days early. MarkZ Question: What do you think the new rate for Iraq will be? Mark: I could be wrong but, I think the rate will start about $3.90 or so. But we are totally guessing. Frank26 THE MOMENT THEY RELEASE THE NEW EXCHANGE RATE AND NEW LOWER NOTES... THE FLOAT AUTOMATICALLY STARTS ON FOREX! That's the float that's going to take it to the real effective exchange rate.

Frank26 I've always said that when it would happen IMO it would be from a Saturday night when you're asleep to when you wake up on Sunday morning. Saturday into Sunday is what I've always said.

Here we are at Thursday and this is the second time this week …directly from the Iraqi Parliament: Article Quote: “Parliamantary Finance and CBI discuss increasing the DINAR and controlling the market”. In other words they need to remove restrictions on the banks and increase the value…that is how they control the market...They are still openly talking about it…again. Militia Man ...If they adjust the exchange rate and delete the zeroes who's going to need the dollar when they apply the new Real Effective Exchange Rate to it?

Mark: A person in our community had an interesting conversation. He has a personal relationship with a banker. Quote: "Met for dinner with a banking executive...the banker told me about the basket, or first round is going to be only the Iraqi dinar and the Iranian Rial. He said those countries are gold backed and their internal banking systems are more set up…more so then the others are.

[post 1 of 2] MarkZ I take it as a very good sign...It is encouraging to hear an active conversation about it and that it’s going soon...I am still hearing that the majority of the currencies will be going all at once. But, its best to be prepared. Question: if Iraq and Iran go first and alone, I wonder- will the currency still be allowed to float? Mark: I would assume “YES” …I believe all currencies will be allowed to float after this. Because of the underlying asset values. [post 2 of 2] Babysmom ...THE DINAR RATE OF $1.32 IS WHAT THEY ARE HOPING WILL COME OUT IN IRAQ. BGG Article quote: “The Iraq government is currently weighing the question of changing the currency so that the official cost of a US dollar will be 1.32 Iraqi dinars instead of 1320. Implementing such a decision is likely to significantly increase Al-Sudani’s popularity.” ...The article was published yesterday & I am suspicious of it’s veracity and timing. It always seems to get tossed around during election season. Furthermore, how they decide to get from 1320:1 to 1.32:1 is another story entirely...Everyone will get all excited, when in reality… even if this is a legit move – it could still go 20 different ways. Mnt Goat Don’t be discouraged, the currency reform and banking process has come a very long way in a short period of time since January 2023 compared to waiting since 2011, when the plan originated with the IMF on how to turn the currency back on. So we went 11 years with not much progress then suddenly a huge jump which tells us something is up. This alone is all telling...If Iraq is to progress, as they say is their goal, they will need a globally recognized and traded currency once again and get it VERY SOON!

RON Pimpy Can the Iraqi dinar get as valuable as a Kuwait dinar? Of course it could. There's a lot of hurdles there. Are they [Iraq] going to be reinstated? No. Two different stories. The invasion and occupation [of Kuwait] was about 7 months...The Kuwait government was still able to do business as usual outside of Kuwait, use the money they had in their reserve fund. Iraq did not have that, not to mention the fact that Saddam Hussein... printed the hell out of the Iraqi dinar causing the value of the Iraqi dinar to drop...You can't compare Iraq to Kuwait because there's no comparisons... MarkZ The market crash is looking closer and closer. More and more economists are saying it is likely …Jaime Diamond [CEO J.P. Morgan Chase] recently said the Iraqi dinar is going to save the worldwide financial system. So will we see the crash and then bam…they pull the trigger??? As we indicated before, when Mark made this statement, NOWHERE could it be verified that Jaime Diamond ever made that claim..! Paulette This is clearly what the article said... They are weighing changing the rate from 1,320 dinars per dollar to 1.32 dinars per dollar. This is clearly 76 cents to 1 IQD...Currently the rate is 1,320 IQD to 1 USD. Looking it at the other way, this is 0.0007575 USD to 1 IQD. If they drop 1 zero from the exchange rate: 132.0 IQD to 1 USD or 0.007575 USD to 1 IQD. If they drop 2 zeros: 13.2 IQD to 1 USD or 0.07575 USD to 1 IQD. If they drop 3 zeros: 1.32 IQD to 1 USD or .7575 USD to 1 IQD. Therefore, 1.32 IQD to 1 USD is 76 cents to each IQD. [Post 1 of 2...Reposted] Paulette ...What we want to see posted on the CBI website as to how many IQD are required to purchase 1 USD is 1.00 or less. If they post 3.22 IQD to 1 USD, this would mean 31 cents per 1 IQD. We want them to post .31 IQD to 1 USD which is then 3.22 USD to 1 IQD. Realize, they post how many IQD it takes to purchase 1 of another currency. [Post 2 of 2]

RON Pimpy Question "Just be blunt...Make it simple. If someone holds a million dinars what is the most one can get from this amount over the next several years?" I've been blunt about this...It depends on how long you hold it. Let's say it starts to go up in increments like I think it's going to happen, you have to look at your 1 million dinar and think to yourself, 'Am I going to be happy with the current exchange rate.' It really depends on when it gets to a rate that you like. As long as they can stay out of conflict, continue moving forward like they have with reform, getting back in the World Trade Organization, showing back up on Forex, these things are very important on giving value to the Iraqi dinar. Militia Man Iraq has done the things they needed to do to be Article VIII compliant. They're going to stop the dollar auctions.

Kaperoni If Iraq and the dinar is ever going to rise in value it will be based on Iraq's own economic success and growth of their economy, GDP. Only then can Iraq float the dinar to allow the world to determine its value based on supply and demand.

A managed float is the same as a dirty float. That means the Central Bank of Iraq will watch what happens in the free market, like Forex, but if it goes too far in one direction...then they intervene.

Iraq has never really been on the Forex market. These reports IMPLY Iraq is headed in the direction of international currency inclusion while using its own currency for transactions within th country beginning January 1, 2024. MarkZ Question: What does you gut say Mark? Mark: My gut feels it will be at the bridge of 2023 to the first of January. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The television is talking about how Iraq and a basket of currencies will help to reduce the dollar rate. They are already talking about the yuan and rupee... The government is saying we aspire to end the parallel market dollar in the coming days. Walkingstick They are telling the citizens in the middle of January the IQD exchange rate will finally match the official exchange rate of the CBI. What is the official exchange rate of the CBI high now? 1310. Do you think it will stay at 1310? No. No matter what the CBI exchange rate is in the middle of January the CBI is saying the market rate and the official exchange rate of the CBI will be the same. So it could be an RI rate. Or it could be at 1310...It really doesn't matter what the rate is. As long as they are the same... Militia Man We have been watching some of the most fantastic news articles...We can clearly say we have the confidence Iraq is going to be going international...We see evidence of that in a lot of different ways...They're doing things in a big way...The U.N. is saying Iraq has emerged... Pimpy Iraq has taken the necessary steps to strengthen the Iraqi dinar. We know there's restrictions on the amount of money Iraq is receiving from the US. But doing that has put the pressure on parallel market because they don't have enough dollars to trade...on the black market ...causing companies to have to use the official exchange rate instead of trying to be sneaky on the parallel market. That means they have a stronger Iraqi dinar... Because of that they have more purchasing power... This is why I think as time goes on you're going to see the Iraqi dinar go up in increments. Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: They are talking about Fils and what they will mean to us. FRANK: What are fils? Coins.

They're saying the battle with the dollar is soon coming to an end. Mnt Goat ...there is always one news article to grab my attention and stands out from the rest...WOW, WOW, WOW news. It says that the purpose of foreign currency in Iraq is to deal with it outside the [national] economy, so it is not possible to consider the existence of a price in the dollar and a price in the dinar: one rises and the other falls. No monetary policy can control such a situation...Folks this is just what we have been waiting for so long to hear...This is huge news. [Post 1 of 2...Reposted] Mnt Goat They are finally getting off the sanctioned use of ONLY US dollars for trade outside Iraq. Yes, they are beginning to act now like they are out of the UN 1991 & 2003 sanctions, that by the way, happened over a year ago. So, yes, it is about time.

What more can the CBI do after the first? Reinstate and float. That will make the Iraqi citizens very happy... Frank26 1 to 1 is stupid...Did they not say their desire is to be on par 1 to 1 with the American dollar? Did they not say their desire is to take that relationship and de-peg from the dollar and go into a basket where the dollar, ...instead of being pegged, will be paired with the dollar along with many other currencies...They told us that did they not? I didn't make this up in my imagination. This is the monetary reform plan...They told us about what is going to happen on the 1st...1 to 1 in a basket to start out with? No. IMO when it comes to calculating...look at inflation factors...M1, 2 and 3 figures ...No - 1 to 1 is stupid...it's ridiculous.

IMO they are telling them all so they will understand where the monetary reform process is at at this moment. Pimpy When this thing happens and it's gonna happen...we have no idea about 2024. That doesn't mean it can't happen in 2024. I'm anticipating a rate change happening in the first quarter as they get away from using the dollar and they use the dinar more, as they start doing business with these countries they did a currency swap with, the demand for dinar will increase and is it'll go up in value.

Mnt Goat I asked [my CBI contact] what the next targeted steps were and I was told that the committee does not even know and were told just to standby and the CBI is going to try to “push” to continue as they are ready for the next step in the process. I was told the IMF is negotiating the new peg for the dinar but to remember it impacts all countries in this new peg not just Iraq. I was told this is close to being completed and should be done this week ending. This lines us up for next week to begin the currency sway [swap ?] out, but they told me it is delayed until further notice. [Post 1 of 2] Mnt Goat So, at least we now have a timeline when they did plan it and still could do it based on what happens with the US bombing issue. My contact did reiterate that the process now is irreversible and must go forward. The US had already given assurances they would not back out if the CBI moved ahead. So all I can say is let’s sit tight and watch what does happen in the coming week. [Post 2 of 2]

They are not talking about an RV in Iraq, they are talking about the spread being in compliance early next year. Just a reminder the spread is the difference between the official rate and the market rate or street rate and has been way out of whack recently in Iraq. This article simply means they expect the spread to come down closer to the official rate early next year. There is no RV. Sheila Iraq's elections days are 18th and 19th. Rumor has it they will release the new exchange rate post election...we shall see if that's true or not in the coming days.

They are telling them the dinar...we'll be doing it, sure...The banks know when and they're getting the customers ready and preparing them...This is what I am coming across...You may be still getting a lot of denials and that's still to be expected, but I am a central hub of information.

PompeyPeter The head of the armed forces coming out and saying the whole of the armed forces from Wednesday to Wednesday starting the day before yesterday through Wednesday of next week are on the highest level of alert in the whole of the armed forces.

Most countries like here in the UK and the US we don't have a day off for an election. Last time they had council elections they only had 40% turn out. Pretty apathetic. It's Iraq, they give them a day off. Now Sudani says they have two days off, Monday and Tuesday. Now we hear the whole bloody army's been called up on massive stay of alert. [Post 1 of 2] He's wrong about the "only 40% turnout". In many districts they are showing 78% indicating to vote. Voting lines were already forming. RON PompeyPeter I'm thinking these are council elections, no body give a fiddles fig about these things. Very strange. I thought, hmmm, new small category notes, ATMs, a lot of people trying to get into a bank to change their notes...Thinking about it, they may want the army involved to protect movements of new notes and coins...The 20th they've got 5 days to spend the big chunk of the budget that's been sitting there waiting for over 11 months. Why? Because they don't want to spend it at 1300. It's too expensive....It would seem perfect timing perhaps they mask these elections with something else which may or may not be the rate change and new small category notes.

Installing it is not going to make the exchange rate change but, what it does do is it will influence the exchange rate. There's a huge difference...How it does that is...if people all have an ATM card...then there's an increase in transactions ...that will help influence the exchange rate. But just installing the payment system has nothing to do with the exchange rate...the exchange rate is not going to change because they put it in. Breitling Question: "When it does revalue, when do we get out? How long do we wait?" That depends on your own needs. Are you trying to get a house? Are you trying to pay off a loan?

What's to keep people from taking their Iraqi dinar to the new 1 to 1 location, exchanging their currency, getting tons of money, running back over to another location that has not yet changed the exchange rate, buy more cheap Iraqi dinar, then run back over to the new exchange rate...You're making millions of dollars. This is why you'll never hear, 'Oh, they have an in-country rate and out-country rate.' No, the rate is the same.

It's not that difficult. Militia Man Bilateral trade...Multilateral trade, Multilateral banking - all of these things show Iraq is going international...I believe I'm going to be 100% right.

This is somebody with a high level of knowledge from the inside. Kaperoni They...have to have the dinar stabilized within the country and within the 2% rule mandated by the IMF in order to then accept IMF article VIII and begin to float the dinar which would raise its value based on supply and demand. All of these processes and or steps required time. As I mentioned before, considering the unique circumstances, Iranian influence with moneychangers, Iraq's banking changes, and Iraq's considering joining BRICS - It's very likely that the IMF may consider waving the 2% because of extraordinary circumstances, and to their benefit.

Not just the future of the dinar, it's the future of the market that's inside of Iraq. The reason you're seeing the tempo of the currency swaps inside of Iraq is because they're pulling all the currencies out that are competing with the local currency, which is Iraqi dinar.

FRANK: Did he hint about the future with Chase and the Iraqi dinar? BANK STORY PERSON: He said he does know they will be exchanging the currency. [Post 1 of 2] Frank26 [Bank story continued] FRANK26: Oh, snap! ...You talked to the most prefect individual, the Wealth Management Advisor Director of all the Chase Banks in America. Holy cow...Notice he wasn't in defensive posture. He wasn't in an angry mood...He had a straightforward conversation. BANK STORY PERSON: ...Me and my fiancé went November 28th, a couple days before I talked to the Chase guy and walked into my regular Wells Fargo branch...I asked if I could speak with the branch manager...the teller asked what is it in reference about? I said exchanging foreign currency. He said well if you're talking about the dinar it's not going to happen. He said I've talked to somebody really high up and it's not gonna happen... FRANK26: How in the world can we trust Wells Fargo when they are purposely lying to us? All they have to do is say no comment. That's it...they sold me dinars back in 2005. [Post 2 of 2] Mnt Goat Oh my gosh!!! I truly can hardly believe all the good news coming from Iraq this period. Maybe its not the RV, as of yet, but I can assure you it is coming and there is no stopping it. It is like a loaded freight train coming fast down the tracks. Pimpy We know elections are coming up and we know what happened last election. I'm not trying to jinx it but we're definitely hoping that everything goes a lot smoother than it did last election. Militia Man In July Alaq the Central Bank governor said the project to delete the zeros off the currency exchange rate still exists. I think it's fascinating and awesome...

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Pimpy Question: "Are there steps Iraq can take to have the $3.22 rate reinstated?" Yes. I'm not saying that they can do it...I'm not saying it's not going to increase in value, I'm saying it's just not going to happen overnight. We're going to see it continue to increase in increments. Just give it time. You're going to start seeing it jump up and just hold on to your dinar. Frank26 On January the 1st of 2024 you [Iraqi citizens] will not be able to use or touch the American dollar in any way, shape or form anymore. The CBI...will tell you not anymore, come and get your new small category notes and let us introduce you to your new exchange rate...it is now coming IMO... MarkZ Iraq is being very clear the dinar will be higher than the dollar and no more dollars after Jan 1st…They are telling us everything we need to know. We just need to stay calm. Kaperoni If Iraq is ever going to raise the value of the dinar there are several things that need to occur first of which requires Iraq to diversify their economy away from oil. To create a private sector, employ their citizens and begin to manufacture, create agriculture etc. This is an absolute requirement to be self-sufficient. Currently, Iraq Imports about 90% of the goods they need. Sandy Ingram The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed some Iraqi banks are transferring dollars from their accounts to intermediary banks who are distributing the dollars to their customers. The Central Bank of Iraq said this will contribute to reducing the exchange rate of the parallel dollar...[We're] thinking this is to keep the black market intact. This means the decision to only use Iraqi dinar in all transactions beginning January 1, 2024 may cause concerns and the Central Bank of Iraq is making moves to control any possible issues. Pimpy Still today I can't find any news of the so called restrictions removed. No restrictions have been removed yet. Militia Man Article: "It's time for the Iraqi economy to be linked to the global economic cycle. Al-Sudani stresses the government's endeavors to achieve an industry that exports its product outside Iraq." That's exactly what we need. Everybody knows Iraq has been an import country and they've been using oil as a revenue stream. Now they're going to go from a rentier oil industry to a non-oil revenue stream country...You have the industrial cities, liquid natural gas, tourism, agriculture...Iraq is filthy with minerals. MarkZ ...today at 4:15 pm the Fed will have a meeting on “FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES” This does not pop up on their calendar very often but today they are discussing foreign currency exchange rates at the Federal Reserve at 4:15 pm. Could this be what we are looking for? It’s possible.

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON Frank26 Why are all these countries, why are all these companies saying such great and wonderful things about Iraq and Sudani when they never did before? Why is it that parliament is saying beautiful things about reforms and the success of it that Sudani has had? There is a change in your [Iraqi citizens] monetary policy. Your monetary sovereignty is coming to you before '24. Breitling In the article, they want to go and do this monetary sovereignty. What do they have to do? They have to eliminate the US dollar out of the public. But the dollars they eliminate they want to put into their reserve. So they're not de-dollarizing. They're trying to build up their reserve and at the same time expand the supply times velocity of their currency... Pimpy Content creators are trying to be the first out there to break some news...so they could go, 'See I told you so!' When you've been doing this as long as I have you get past all that crap. So, God is telling [this content creator] that the Iraqi dinar no longer has any restrictions. Well I made a phone call to God myself personally, he don't recall seeing anything like that at all...God's telling her there's no more restrictions on Iraqi dinar...I looked around to find out if that was true because, you know, when it comes to God, God's not wrong and if she's getting a message from God and God's telling her there's no more restrictions on an Iraqi dinar well that would be splendid, that would be wonderful. [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned] Pimpy The problem is I could find no such information...There's still restrictions on the Iraqi dinar. That's not counting they're still under sanctions with the United States. This is why we see them having to get permission from the United States to do certain things... There's been a lot of good news lately coming out of Iraq and it's exciting. I get it. Be we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. You're got people out there talking about...God told them there's no more restrictions on the Iraqi dinar...I guess we're going to find out. It would seem to us that that kind of news would have been out and about real quick because that is a major major step for Iraq to have no restrictions on their currency...Getting rid of any kind of sanctions on the Iraqi dinar would be a huge step for Iraq. It would be exciting for everyone. [Post 2 of 2] Frank26 Question: 'Are we at the point this could happen this weekend as well as the last week of December or any time in-between?' IMO December is a month to remember if they stay on the schedule that we believe before '24. Mnt Goat Article: “ADVISER TO THE PRIME MINISTER: ECONOMIC POLICY IN IRAQ IS MOVING TOWARDS IMPLEMENTING THE PRINCIPLE OF MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY” WOW! WOW! WOW! It tells us flat right out in the open that Iraq is about to take complete control over their currency again. WOW! ...This has reinstatement and RV written all over this statement... yada Article: “Baghdad today - Baghdad Today, Friday (December 1, 2023), the National Public Retirement Authority announced the start of disbursing salaries to retirees next Sunday“ Yes, that is this Sunday the 3rd.; The reduction of the oil output by 650,000 barrels means an increase in the price of oil, higher rates in the dinar value will follow.; Lastly, the official change in the auction practice stopping the auctions while the banks are NOW transferring dollars through the designated banks connected with Chase and Citibank started... All clear signs we will see our expected end, now IMO. And NOW, The Rumors of the Day from our clowns Bruce [RUMOR]...we really do have good contact in Iraq. And we're getting word that the ATM machines are filled with the lower denomination bills like ours...10 20 50 and 100 dinar notes - I think those are all available in the actual ATM machines...Now they have been working...since Thanksgiving - maybe a little bit before that - in the airport locations in Baghdad and at the border location – where ever the ATM’s are at the border...they are working now and they are in use...I do not believe they're all in use all over the country yet. But I think that is about to change... they are minting new coins for people to use...Iraqis are going to feel a little jingle in their pockets soon... Bruce [RUMOR]...we were supposed to according to pretty high up sources...to be exchanging Wednesday or Thursday and I had clarifications that we would be exchanging...Well, guess what, we are not – yet – exchanging...I think there’s a number of factors and...one in particular ...that's delayed us slightly...Everything really is ready to go. I really do believe that we are ready.
