yota691 Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share The fils (Arabic alphabet: فلس) is a subdivision of currency used in many Arab countries, such as Iraq and Bahrain; the term is a modern retranscription of fals, an early medieval Arab coin. "Fils" is the singular form in Arabic, not plural (as its final consonant might indicate to an English speaker). The plural form of fils is fulūs (فلوس); this latter term is also used to refer to small amount of money or money in general in many varieties of Arabic, particularly Egyptian 1 Bahraini dinar = 1000 fulūs (or 1 filis = 1/1000 Bahraini dinars) 1 Emirati dirham = 100 fulus 1 Iraqi dinar = 1000 fulūs 1 Jordanian dinar = 1000 fulūs 1 Kuwaiti dinar = 1000 fulūs 1 Yemeni rial = 100 fulūs 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzztop Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share ISIS blew up over 200 Iraqi people last week. They still hold vast areas of Iraq. They hold billions of dinar and hundreds of millions of dollars. Shabibi has said(probably over a hundred times) that nothing will happen until there is stability. This was long before ISIS humiliated the Iraqi army. We have quite a ways to go IMO.

Thanks for your comment zzztop, maybe you are correct in your assumption that "we have quite a ways to go" but perhaps not. Why? All over the world their are conflicts taking place as we speak, here in Mexico for example, the teachers union is taking over places like Oxahaca, Guerrero, with violence and killings almost daily, urban warfare amongst drug dealers and traffickers in areas like the boarder towns and cities with the US, Michoacan in the central area of the country. In the US, daily shootings with police and citizens almost daily, we can go on and on with different examples around the globe. Iraq is progressing at a pace not seen in the past do to the urgency in place by IMF, WB, etc... to get their loans granted and in place. I do agree that security is a major issue, but security is a major issue now even in first world countries. The media always will want to show death and destruction, the pain and the sorrow along with the suffering of the people but what about the things that they don't show us? The advancements and accomplishments taking place and, that has been implemented over the past while. Agreed, Iraq is being reborn and has not yet achieved global recognition, but in order to re build you must tear down, and Iraq is in the "re build process" ISIS is almost a thing of the past, they will never be completely eliminated, nor will the protesters here in Mexico, the urban conflicts taking place in our own cities around the globe, but as long as their is hate, their will be conflicts, it's just a fact of life, unfortunately. My point being, no matter where we live around the world their will be issues, Iraq is on the verge of becoming an international player, the ducks are lining up nicely and progress being made daily. They will always have issues, as will Mexico, US, Canada and where ever and as always my friend, it's business as usual Just my 1 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yota691 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Polymer banknotes are banknotes made from a polymer such as biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP). Such notes incorporate many security features not available to paper banknotes, including the use of metameric inks;[1] they also last significantly longer than paper notes, resulting in a decrease in environmental impact and a reduction of production and replacement costs.[2] Modern polymer banknotes were first developed by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and The University of Melbourne. They were first issued as currency in Australia in 1988 (coinciding with that country's bicentennial year). In 1996 Australia switched completely to polymer banknotes. Countries that have since switched completely to polymer banknotes include Brunei, Canada, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Romania, and Vietnam. Cape Verde, Chile, The Gambia, Nicaragua, Trinidad and Tobago and the Maldives are the latest countries to introduce polymer currency notes into circulation. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yota691 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Security features Polymer banknotes can have three levels of security devices. Consumers can recognize primary security devices; these include intaglio, metal strips, and the clear areas of the banknote. A machine is required to detect secondary security devices. The third level of security devices can only be detected by the issuing authority when a banknote has been returned.[7] Traditional printed security features applied on paper can also be applied on polymer. These features include intaglio printing, offset and letterpress printing, latent images, micro-printing, and intricate background patterns. Polymer notes can be different colors on the obverse and reverse sides. Like paper currency, polymer banknotes can incorporate a watermark (an optically variable 'shadow image') in the polymer substrate. Shadow images can be created by the application of optically variable ink, enhancing its fidelity and color shift characteristics. Security threads can also be embedded in the polymer note; they may be magnetic, fluorescent, phosphorescent, micro-printed, clear text, as well as windowed. Like paper, the polymer can also be embossed. Polymer notes also enabled new security features unavailable at the time on paper, such as transparent windows, and diffraction grating. Since 2006, however, the development of paper transparent window technologies by De La Rue (Optiks) and G&D (varifeye) have reduced that advantage. The transparent window where the OVD is located is a key security feature of the polymer banknote. It is easily identifiable, allowing anyone to authenticate a banknote. Because the polymer bank note contains many security features that cannot be successfully reproduced by photocopying or scanning, it is very difficult to counterfeit. The complexities of counterfeiting polymer banknotes are proposed to act as a deterrent to counterfeiters. The substrate BOPP film, metallised or otherwise, is widely available from European and Chinese suppliers, as are the metameric inks used. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Gold Council announced a rise in world reserves of gold a month in February, indicating that Iraq maintained a fifth of the Arab world's reserves rank. The World Gold Council is an international organization headquartered in London, along with six branches in New York, Mumbai, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo and Singapore. Council aims to develop the global gold industry market and works with global organizations to stimulate demand and the development of innovative uses of gold and take new products to market, and provides a comprehensive analysis of the Council to give decision-makers information about the gold demand factors. The council said the statistics published on its website yesterday that "Iraq has maintained its 37th place globally out of 100 countries listed in the International Financial Statistics of global reserves of gold during the month of February of the year 2017," noting that "Iraq came fifth Arab rank after Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, Algeria and Libya. " And that "Iraq's reserves of gold remained stable as recorded 89.8 tons, representing 7.0 of the rest of the other currencies," noting that "the last purchase of gold for Iraq was in the month of April 2014 where 15.16 tons bought." According to the Council, that "the world's gold reserves rose for the month of February by 11 tons for the month of January for up to 33 thousand and 259 tons, while the United States ranked first globally in terms of these reserves, which amounted to 8.133.5, followed by Germany with 3.377 tons." . The central bank decided in early 2014 coined a variety of alloys of pure gold ranging between weights (50 g and 1000 g) to sell to traders in gold, investors and segments of society wishing to do so in Iraqi dinars. And announced that, at the time, the direct contracting procedures for imported and then sold through the banking system, as this procedure is one of the monetary policy tools. Considered economic researcher verse just that Iraq intended by the central bank to stabilize the currency market, including gold at the local level, adding in an interview, he said that the monetary policy pursued by the central strengthen the monetary reserves of gold action is in the final outcome for the benefit of the national economy.

The central bank adopts a strategy in the management of its gold reserves to achieve racial safety and security through the use of monetary policy tools to stabilize the dinar exchange rate against foreign currencies. The economic expert, Dr. appearance of Mohammed Saleh said earlier, that the citizen trust in absolute government transactions means he trusts the precious metal which items imported Central as a guaranteed standard specifications, as well as that of the global origins of what makes imported gold from the Central much better than that items imported gold dealers. He pointed out that this measure will double the chances of increasing credit (loans granted by banks to the citizens) the adoption of the gold coins good as collateral for the loan repayment terms will be reflected positively on improving the reality of living and the national economy in general. mm Views 36 Date Added 02/06/2017 - 11:01 Last updated 02/06/2017 - 15:09 No. Content 6659 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
