Ditto !!! I remeber some talk about a reduction in salaeries to officials a few years ago. Prior to any change in the monetary system

[mariejose]

O boy,is this very telling or what. Yes it does make one stop and pause as to the reasoning behind this. As mentioned in the postings from above, I can only think of one other reason and that would be that the government/ country of Iraq is indeed in dire financial straits.

I fervently hope this is what everyone else is thinking. Preparation before a change in the rate.
