  "has printed" and "5,10, & 25 dinar" notes are the two key parts in this article.

 

"HAS"......, thus saying they are already printed....

 

and.............

 

AND !!! the lower denomination notes of 5, 10, & 25.

 

The ONLY reason new smaller notes are needed is order to accommodated a much high valuation of the Dinar.

They are worthless scrap paper otherwise.

 

I've said this before.... that an RV cannot happen without the lower denom's already printed and in place.

 

I LIKE this article VERY much !!

Thanks  deniscanada.

Iraq issued a new currency with a high security specifications

He noted that the measure "will give a great power of the Iraqi dinar against other world currencies, as well as the ease of carrying and trading denominations yellowed in the banking and monetary exchange."

 

If they are going to maintain those same denominations, the only way carrying the currency would be any easier (than it is now); is when they increase the exchange rate. 

Iraqis would no longer have to carry as many banknotes...

Iraq's new banknotes include stronger security features
2014-04-23 By Khalid al-Taie in Baghdad
 
The Central Bank of Iraq is replacing Iraqi banknotes with new ones containing additional security features to make the currency more difficult to counterfeit, it announced last week.


The bank has reprinted small denomination paper banknotes (250, 500 and 1,000 Iraqi dinars) as well as larger denominations (5,000, 10,000, and 25,000 dinars), the bank's treasury director Ihsan Shamran al-Yasseri told Mawtani.
 
"The new currency, of which the small value ones have been offered for circulation, is not much different in form from the notes currently being used by the public," he said. "But these are infused with safer and more effective technical specifications containing security symbols and many technical characteristics that will give the notes longer life and make it difficult or almost impossible to counterfeit."
 
Additional security features include a guarantee thread -- a one-millimetre-long coloured ribbon for the small category notes, and four millimetres for the greater value ones -- in addition to visible coloured strands, and others which can only be seen by scanners, he said.
 
The new currency also uses SPARK, an optical security feature recognised worldwide, he said.
 
These added features will help protect Iraqi currency against forgery attempts, al-Yasseri said.
 
"The counterfeiting that has taken place of some of the high value notes in circulation was very primitive and easily-discovered, without the need to subject the money to scanning devices," he said.
 
The new banknotes are embossed with raised dots to enable blind and vision-impaired persons to use them, he said, and are covered by a protective film to prevent deterioration resulting from their constant circulation.
 
"Worldwide, the assumed life of paper money is three to five years," he said. "The Iraqi notes in use now go back 10 years, and many of the banknotes, especially the small value ones, have become old and worn."

 

A gradual replacement
 
The overall value of the paper notes to be reprinted comes to about five trillion Iraqi dinars ($4.3 billion), al-Yasseri said, and these will be gradually entered into circulation to replace the current notes.
 
"Offering new notes will not cancel out the paper notes in use now," he said. "The new ones will be in circulation side-by-side with the old ones."
 
Reprinting Iraqi currency several years after its introduction is a "necessary requirement", said economist Bassem Jameel Antoine.
 
"Many of the present currency notes have become overused and it was necessary to renew them with the addition of features that would make the notes more able to effectively resist the constant circulation as well as attempts at forgery," he told Mawtani.
 
Numerous modern security features and technologies have been used to safeguard world currencies against counterfeiting and tampering, Antoine said.
 
The public must be made aware of the features and specifications of the new banknotes in order to understand the importance of reprinting them and to encourage their circulation, he said.
 
The renewal of the banknotes is a good step towards achieving currency reform, said MP Ibrahim al-Rikaby, who serves on the Iraqi parliament's economic committee.
 
"We support the replacement of old notes with new ones which have high print quality and features to protect the money against forgery or tampering," he told Mawtani.
 
This step "will give the Iraqi dinar considerable strength against the other world currencies, as well as make it easy to carry and circulate in banking transactions, selling and buying operations, and currency exchange", he said

I hope it doesn't mean 5K, 10K and 25K notes, but looks like it does.

Thanks for the read Deniscanada

 

Mrparrot I missed your picture  and Im sure it was funny but I have a twisted mind.

I know its not personal. Mods are just doing their  jobs. Different mod means different outcomes.

Again its not personal. Too easy to get upset over something that does not really matter.

Im guilty of that all the time but can you imagine what it would be like with no Mods?

CHAOS!!

 

Thanks Mods

Jeep-  my take:

 

Quote from Article- "The Central Bank's Treasury Director Ihsan HostMonster Al-yasseri said the Central Bank has printed currency notes of small groups (250, 500 and 1000) and also large groups (5, 10 and 25) 1,000 dinars ".

They "drop" three zeroes off the rate or better yet go 1 for 1, the printed currency notes of small groups become:

 

1) 250  becomes 25cents

 

2) 500 becomes 50 cents and

 

3) 1000 note becomes $1.00  -  a buck!

 

Voila - lower denoms 

[dontlop 6,960]

The cbi lists the currency it issues

On the website with pictures

So why they wrote like that

5 ,,, 10 ,,, 25 ,,, 1000 dinars

Is okieononic a holic

They stablized the rate there's no way they could be rated with a currency floating all over the place within 10%

They were told to hold it within 2% margins of the official rate

That's around 22 dinar

That would mean 1166 to 1188

How they doin?

1220 ?
