screwball Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) I read through the US Department Of Security' website today. If you're a US citizen you can exchange Rial as long as you go through another countries bank and you can't exchange Rial directly for USD. You have to exchange the Rial for another countries currency and then convert that countries currency into USD. This is great news for US Citizens.... thanks Freedom!

pokerplayer Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 My company paid for all the flights so not sure but a quick call to any airport will tell you that. Dubai has some very reasonable areas but also some high end ones as well. Depends on what you want to do. I recommend spending 2-3 days after cash-in to take in the sites. You won't be disappointed. pp 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure other than the few posters we see on this thread, but I would be happy to be able to be the unofficial tour guide there when this pops !! As with any country there are a few do's and don't. While chances are I will cash out here in Canada, I would sure like to meet some of you good folks in Dubai. Cheers, pp 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article was from March so slightly outdated.As noted they mention removing 3 zeros, well we now know that they plan on removing 4. While I doubt highly the smoke and mirrors theory I do believe they would RV slightly higher to snub there nose at the western world and say " we are back in the game " so to speak. While I agree they are a terrorist nation, the POTUS sending millions if not billions in cash to them was the swaying factor that made want me to invest. I believe that we will come out on the positive side relatively soon. Just my opinion so take it for what its worth. pp 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says it will LOP and then says this "If you “invest” in the rial and they redenominate you’ll have to try to find some place to exchange your rials into the new rials or back into USD" talk about hedging your bets, if he was so sure it was going to lop he would not have said that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
