Patriotic_mess Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 So the banks were charging a 10 Dinar fee to buy Dollars and the CBI said knock it off? What is the purpose of this? Would it allow the CBI to suck up more IQD or is it to put more money in the hands of the people? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityeXchange Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 i read it a little differently. my interpretation is that the banks were getting out of hand with their commissions even up to 56 dinars per dollar. the cbi implemented a new regulation effective immediately where the commission cannot exceed 10 dinar per dollar above the cbi window commision. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassaap Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I got the impression that they are limiting the commission received from Dollar sales to 10 dinar(?) to the dollar(?) Like people are now buying dollars directly from the bank...and this is what the bank's charge will be...no more... Really need good interpretation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigmeister Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 What I get from this is people are buying dollars for dinars......and in some places are being over charged. I don't think I am reading too much in this, but the other day people in order to get their money have to make a deposit, no cash until the dinar is cleared of being counterfeit. Now in order to do that, and in order to get their money they have to set up an account with the bank right? Here is my thought, they, CBI and government may be making a big deal out of the counterfiet dinar currency to frighten people. The dollar from my understanding is not the currency threatened by the counterfeiters. The CBI is warning people some places cashing dinar for dinar may be over charging them by a lot. And these places will loose their license's and so forth. They can't be trusted. However CBI and all banks under their seal can be trusted and whats more the Iraqi people get a better deal. But of course they will need to open an account, which they will. If my theory is two the CBI does two things, brings in the dinar, and the accounts begin to grow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they're having a lot of trouble with counterfeit money, and you're spot on with everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the CBI and Government are using it if not manipulating the situation to get people in the banks. And when they do the people learn about the perks of a bank, and they learn they do not have to even go to the bank to bank. They have their cell phones, which know CBI is targeting. And oh yes they have ATM machines, no worries about counterfeit currency coming out of the machines, very safe, very, very safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Veyron Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Maybe they are trying to just establish a blanket policy for all banks and transactions due to the dollar being in demand knowing that other countries (i.e. Iran and Syria) that are trying to buy dollars from Iraq and they don't have dinar to buy the dollar. It could as well be a set fee / price to discourage buying the dollar and instead encourage the circulation of more dinar.. ??

Ah, propoganda with a beneficial outcome for all. I like the way you think. By the way, how was the Lark burger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortarius Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I agree, they're having a lot of trouble with counterfeit money, and you're spot on with everything. It may be just me but is anyone else concerned about the dinars you hold being termed counterfeit and thus CBI not having to honor them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey Lark Burger, free range, was great! Went for drive, noticed many calves running around in the fields. We love this time of year, spring lurking in the air. It's sort of "looking for spring" jaunt. We checked out some dream homes. You know a kind of day dream day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigmeister Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 It may be just me but is anyone else concerned about the dinars you hold being termed counterfeit and thus CBI not having to honor them? I don't think you need to worry about it. But there are ways to figure it out. Doc 21 mentioned you can actually check it out via those devices you can buy at Walmart and buy a UV light. And google how to check authenticity of Iraq dinar, you will find the info you need. I think you have a good point saying that it may be a CBI scare tactic. Every time this counterfeit issue comes up, the Johnny Rainclouds on DV come down with this, "The $20 bill is the most commonly counterfeited denomination of US currency," as a means of "explaining" why the Iraqi 25K dinar note is allegedly being counterfeited - namely, that it holds roughly the same value. But the $20 bill has not nearly the anti-counterfeiting technology that was incorporated in the Delarue-printed Iraqi currency, and the $20 bill holds a higher value in the exchange rate at the moment. And yet, even though "the $20 bill is the most commonly counterfeited denomination of US currency," in the United States, and no one disputes that point, why is not the $20 bill being counterfeited in Iraq to the extent that it might become a concern for the US Treasury? Hell, it is easier to counterfeit, and, with the demand for dollars in Iran and Syria, it should be situation critical by now - that is, if it were going on, don't you think? Exactly. What better way to usher people in the bank and set up bank accounts. Deposit, we will check the authenticity and btw we only charge you 10 dinar for the dollar. Be aware the scammers out there, they will steal your money. BTW do you have a cell phone? Ahhhh you are going to love this. Its safe, very very safe.

zigmeister Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I think one errs grievously to underestimate Dr. Shabibi's ingenuity with regard to these matters. He is my idea of an idea man. And one other thing, the dinars are going back to their keepers hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtFuryUSCZ Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 ***/// Send the Dinars 'home'...? NOVEL IDEA! I'll be booking their passage shortly at a nearby Wells Fargo! Bon Voyage Dinar! Don't worry about me, your bajillions of USD cousins will keep me happy after your gone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
