presence Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I hope that the speculation I've read that Iraq and Iran were going to make near-simultaneous changes to their currencies is true; we will sure find out - SUDDENLY!

Garhy Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 What aren't you guys getting.. they made a new currency called Toman where it's one zero less off the exchange rate meaning 1 dollar instead of equalling 39k its now only 3900.. I'm guessing this is a lop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Bean Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 From a currency watch site. Just for the sake of discussion, or, as Dr. Clarke would say.....for entertainment purposes only. Currently the rial is valued at 30,202 rials to the dollar or $.00003. At 37,000 to the dollar it would be about $.000027, and at 52,000 to the dollar it would be about $.000019. As you can see, the prognosis is for a lower value as Iran goes forward, not a higher value. Buying something that is more likely to go down in value than up is a bad idea. What makes it a really bad idea is that Iran announced in 2011 that they are planning on removing three zeros from their currency. Sound familiar? That’s redenomination talk. As in lop. As in what many countries like Iran do to remove the effects of past hyperinflation. 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. Either way it won’t be for free, so you’ll be further in the hole than you were to begin with. Whether they get around to enacting their planned redenomination or not, the Iranian rial is a sucker’s bet. Don’t fall for it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran Moves to Change Its Currency Unit Back to the Toman By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHRAN, Iran — Dec 7, 2016, 7:05 AM ET Email Iran's official IRNA news agency says that President Hassan Rouhani's administration is proposing changing the name and denomination of the country's currency. The report says the Cabinet approved a measure on Wednesday calling for the change from the rial to the toman. One toman would be worth 10 rials, or around 3,200 to a dollar at official exchange rates, and 3,900 to a dollar at unofficial rates. The Iranian currency was known as the toman until the 1930s, when the name was changed to the rial at a rate of 10 rials to a toman. Many Iranians continued to use the old terminology even after the change. Parliament will have an opportunity to weigh in on the proposed change before it goes to the constitutional watchdog Guardian Council for approval..... I agree . Let's wait and see ..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoD Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Here's an article from Reuters... Iran plans to revalue, rename rial currency Iranian rial banknotes are seen at a currency exchange shop in Kerbala, 110 km (70 miles) south of Baghdad January 27, 2012. REUTERS/Mushtaq Muhammed BEIRUT Iran plans to revalue its rial tenfold and revert to the currency's old name, the toman, according to a bill approved on Wednesday by President Hassan Rouhani's cabinet, the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) said. The currency was called the toman until the 1930s and most Iranians still refer to it by that name. Under the measure, which requires approval from parliament and the Guardian Council before taking effect, the renamed currency would be worth around 3,200 to the dollar at official exchange rates and 3,900 at unofficial rates. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads The Council, made up of six clerics appointed by the Supreme Leader and six lawyers elected by parliament, vets all new legislation for compliance with religious laws and the constitution. When the change was announced Wednesday, the rial dipped by about 90 to the dollar before recovering, according to agency Mehr News.

dinarbeleiver Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I have a feeling this move is to bring the rial close in value to the dinar just before the big event- I think both will revalue near each other at some point 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
