RON Pimpy I read this book [Quest For Good Money]...I kept playing with the numbers, reading my ass off... This is the formula they use [to determine the exchange rate]... The person that wrote the book said if they can get their inflation down, at it is down,...and they can catch up to their dinar price parity ...it should be at the pre-war rate...which is over $3.00. So I did the formula based on all the information they gave me, it came out to $3.56...I said wow, that's going to be phenomenal ...that is worth getting excited about ...The study does tell you that there's no reason Iraq can't be the most valuable currency out there... The question is always going to be whether they re-denominate or not. It sounds like Pimpy has had his eyes opened a bit by this book.

First, the expiration of 13303 shows to us once again that Iraq is slowly moving out of the sanctioned mindset altogether. But now we moved to a new level. We know that in December of 2022, Iraq completed its war reparations payments to Kuwait and thus followed that all the remaining UN sanctions were lifted.

It made us smile. He said this process is occurring because the lower notes will not be needed if the rate wasn't increasing.

They are not in the G7 or the G20…but they are the 7th largest purchaser of gold bullion. This is amazing.

To me this is a precursor to a change of value in their currency. Frank26 IMO this week they're giving the government of Iraq everything needed to fund the budget. The Central Bank of Iraq has finished with all its meeting... with all of its meeting with all of the people that are part of the monetary reform. All of the contracts are also in position, waiting for this to happen as well.
