Wonder how long it will take for the Syrians and Iranians to suck the last of the USD off of the Iraqi street. Estimates are that 40% of the cash that they've been using day to day is greenbacks. My guess is that it won't be long.

I agree and I also think that once this occurs this could cause the value of the dinar to increase due to the demand. Both syria and Iran are facing tighter sanctions and economic collapse so their currency won't be wont very much.

Notice that the amount in dollar sales is slowly coming back up. The banks are finding ways to work around the new requirements. It's all about working the system to get what you want.
