40 dinar a day

[Speedbump]

This is my first post with any site but, I have a friend who is a US border patrol officer. He flew out of Arizona on April 19th for Iraq, on his contract it plainly states that he and his fellow officers will be receiving 40 dinar a day to eat off the local economy. My question is has anyone else heard about this and if there are no lower denominations of dinar why would his contract say that?

I'm ready for the bashing to begin, I've been reading posts here for a couple of years now and that seems to be how it goes.

They prob pay a month at a time which would b 1200 not literally hand them 40 each day

So.....They get .04 cents per day?

Dont spend it all in one place.....Or is this an

indicator of future higher purchasing power of the Dinar?

How many camel burgers and scorpion sliders will $.04 buy?

[cris]

Dont get too many....those sliders are venomous

I went to GSA site to investigate 'per diem' rates for travel to Iraq. The meals and misc. per diem was in the range of $48 to $54 per day unless staying in military or federal facilities'

GEE< WOULD THAT 4O DINAR BE AN EQUIVALENT AMOUNT TO THE US DOLLAR PER DIEM??? WOULD THAT MEAN 1.20 TO 1.35 CONVERSION RATE PER DINAR??

So far so good, but the question still remains.....I've been in this investment for 4 years now and this is the first time I've been privy to any information directly related to dinar but I've read as much as I could from all of the sites just never saw this question broached before.

It is interesting considering he was suppose to leave about a month earlier, the Iraqi government put it on hold till they could clear up some paperwork issues. My friend is in Kurdistan now..... I'm waiting on more info from him now.

OOOOOPS ..is this how we are going to find out the real rate after rv.....just a small slip up i guess

Nothing new here. The powers that be set us up for failure.

We spend $Billions defending Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq & Afghan borders yet don't have the resources or the will to protect our very own borders.

The State department always pays me in USD. Perhaps because its auto pay, but I doubt it.... Even moreso, I noticed that your friend is a contractor, which may mean he is working for a private company (e.g., Blackwater), who does not in turn is not obligated to use DOD or State Department tables for payment.... I doubt the guy is a GSA civilian, through the State Department, and more likely, given he has a 'contract', is employed by a civilian firm? Half my buddies over there are civilian employees, and they are constantly throwing their huge salaries at me to get me on board...... With that in mind, 40 IQD is not good at all.....Most civilian per diem is about 70ish USD per day on top of pay......
