Is this part talking about us and the dinar dealers? Seems like a pretty good clue as to how much we are holding here in the US.

Thoughts from any of you Great Minds out there?

I think they are talking about transactions going the other way. Buying dollars for dinar! Maybe then selling the dollars on the street for dinar and making a profit. If they could stop that the official rate and the street rate will come closer together..

We are the "good guys" we give them our dollars for their dinar..And we dont even get a "thank you "
