Brinx65 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 My worst nightmare would be finding out my dinars are fake after waiting so long to exchange them post RV . Yes I received a COA each time I purchased, but........... Would a bank verify dinars if we asked? (given they have the de la rue machine) Anyone else had the same concern?

Boggle Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 so where are the de la rue machines actually sitting. The closest ones that I can locate are in Salt Lake another in Orlando. Have you located any others? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfl9 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 De LaRue machines and similar are designed and programmed to take only one type of currency. The security features and the value symbols vary. Would be unusual for a US bank to be able to process any foreign currency. Like the back room screens these rumors are added for mystique. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Machine Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 so where are the de la rue machines actually sitting. The closest ones that I can locate are in Salt Lake another in Orlando. Have you located any others? almost every bank in the UK have them, but as I'm led to believe most of your banks in the US don't deal in foreign currency so only the main select banks have them. De LaRue machines and similar are designed and programmed to take only one type of currency. The security features and the value symbols vary. Would be unusual for a US bank to be able to process any foreign currency. Like the back room screens these rumors are added for mystique. these machines can be easily programmed for any currency ........ what bank would buy a verification machine for every foreign currency they sell .... that's just ridiculous. the machines are used in all banks here in the UK, theres nothing special about them. you guys in the US just arent used to seeing them or hearing about them because 99% of banking transactions at the general public level over there is in US currency. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Machine Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 if you want proof .... click on the link below and read page 20 of the pdf ...... the specification sheet in the link is for a bottom of the line base model machine, comes standard with USD and EURO ...... can be programmed for any currency you want with denom values ranging from 1 to 50,000 http://www.totalpost.com/fileadmin/support/products/ev8650/manuals/EV8650_User_Guide.pdf I'm pretty sure Banks wouldn't be buying base model machines 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new york kevin Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 If I lived say in Southern California which bank could I go to to verify my dinar? Just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfl9 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks, Machine USD and Euro Standard, But other currencies optional extra programming and sensors. UR right why buy features you don't use. Volume of foreign currency thru US banks is nill. De La Rue is not the most popular here . 3/4 others here. If you called a bank and asked if they specifically had a De L:a Rue probably would say No. But most have USD counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinx65 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I did some digging and found a site that tells us how to verify the authenticity of dinars. Now the question ...is the site real? haha http://ehelpfultips.com/how_to_tell_if_an_iraqi_dinar_bi.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymrat76541 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mine were purchased in a bank in Baghdad...................................ain't sweating that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFNGPTYLTD Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) No the banks would probably not because its not set and it they came from the business men that bought you can tell if they came from the reserve in USA. I just cashed some even though they had they had the certificate which I told the owner I did not want anyone can print them I paid to have them swapped for 5,000 dinar notes from a buyer that only deals with the reserve bank in USA. and it cost me 1 dollar per note so 40 dollars for one million swap and they are genuine not from bank but from auction to the reserve bank of USA. Note if they came from other saucers then you could be subject to some questions and you will pay more exchange rate, I have been told that they will have a questionnaire for if the machine picks up on your notes and they will tick the boxes as they go down and then it will tell them the costs. Question why did I get 5,000 dinar notes well keep this to your self's do not tell to many but if your at a airport or city what ever and there are money exchange places its easy to cash in a 5,000 dinar and not get into a tax bracket in Australia its 10,000 dollars, so if you cash in one at a rate of say 1 to 1 its 5,000 USA dollars and then when you get to anther country you do the same and then in city as well so you have a cash flow any time you want at a money exchange outlet. Or you can do at numerous outlets each day and stay clear of the tax man. At home you can go to a few each week and cash in and keep makes sense to me. So get yourself some or even 10,000 notes and keep 5,000 dinar notes are better to me any way. I don't think they can run your notes through anyway because the Dinars are not set yet. A mate I have known for over 20 years says he can't till its set and the machines are set . The other way is to send them to a dealer that only deals with the US treasury and have them swapped that may cost you 100 or so but your sure then. If they were bought from the bank in Bagdad then you will have some questions and most likely pay additional costs.

rulesforrebels Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 You mention banks have de la rue machines but that's just not true, they don't. The machines aren't cheap a few grand a piece and as far as I know they are really only good for DInars which is not soething banks deal with so why would they have a machine. Banks do have money counting machines and they do verify USD, not sure about foreign. Everyone wants to run to banks for advice when the banker has probably never seen a Dinar note in his or her life. YOur probably more an expert than the banker. Counterfiet Dinar isn't that big of a problem despite online rumors. THink about it, its one of the most secure currencies and least valuable. WHy would someon counterfeit a difficult currency with a terrible return whenthey could counterfeit easier to fake currencies worth 10x more. Not to say counterfeits don't exist but not a significant problem. ALso check online as there are charts showing you what to check for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinel7 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I bought mine at a real foreign exchange bank I may not have gotten a deal like a lot of you have by going through the Gurus. But I know mine are real and they didn’t come with a COA. No Surrender No Retreat and No Compromise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyrider Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) i bought mine from dinar trade had mine verified a couple of years ago. Mine were legit, they have a currency book that verifies ALL foreign currency. Yes, their are also de la rue machines but not every bank has them. also their are ways to verify it yourself by looking for watermarks, certain emblems etc..
