Well, this is good news!!! Having to go through the banks that now provide liquidity for the banks and avert putting hard Iraqi Dinar currency in circulation!!! Maybe more good news to come where ALL the government advances are now being paid through the banks instead of advances being paid via hard Iraqi Dinar currency at various pay stations!!! Likely eliminates theft, extortion, and corruption in the payment of advances. Now, if they would just do that for the daily CBI currency auctions!!! Go Moola Nova (YEAH, BABY!!!)!!!
