I only visited ( while in NYC with a female friend) 2 places in NJ....One being Jersey City and the other one was F.Sinatra hometown meaning Hoboken...I only recall that one of the two towns ( it was 1992) we reached by subway leaving from the WTC / Battery park area....I had no idea it was possible to reach some place in Jersey by subway from NYC..... Oh...And another time was when we headed for NJ by bus only to get to a place in order to take a boat and go to visit the super-interesting Ellis Island and then on to Bedloe Island ( Liberty statue)...We then got back ny bus and reached Port Authority.....That's all my NJ experience.....So far Been there many of times. Had lunch by the water, looking into the city. I live about 50 k from there. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckFinley Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 This Copied from Butifldrm and Zulu It was worth bring here, since we are the "Hot Thread" GET PUMPED From Butifldrm "Parliamentary Finance intends to reintroduce the coin ... Another proposal to delete the zeros" Parliamentary Finance: Directed to re-work the coin and delete the zeros from the paper currency By Rudaw 19 hours ago Iraqi coins that were in place in the past Rudaw - Erbil announced the parliamentary Finance Committee in the Iraqi parliament, on the trend to re-work in the currency and delete zeros from banknotes, in order to strengthen the economy. "During meetings and discussions with Central Bank officials, we stressed the need to re-operate the coins that were used in Iraq during the past decades, rather than paper that is damaged and printed in large quantities again," committee member Hanin al-Qadu told the official Al-Sabah newspaper. He continued that "the use of metal categories and their descent for circulation gives a notional value of the currency," saying that "a number of neighboring countries - exchange rates are very high against the dollar - and yet we find that it has a coin in order to preserve the currency and not need to ask for more banknotes, especially With small categories. " He pointed to the surprise of the policy of the Central Bank, which does not favor the introduction of coins for circulation in the Iraqi market. Ahmed al-Saffar, a member of the committee, said, "The cost of a coin is more than paper money, and it is more difficult to carry it on the citizen." He pointed out that "inflation in the economy prevents the minting of coins and make them circulate among citizens," suggesting that "there is a step to delete the zeros preceding the coinage process to be a value for small groups to large." The Committee on Economy and Investment in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, revealed in 2014 that the Central Bank completed its preparations for the issuance of coins of seven small categories gradually in a project that takes between four to five years to complete. The Iraqi currency was abolished in 1991 when the international economic embargo on the country increased the rate of inflation in Iraq by 1000%, and the situation under the economic siege resulted in a large and continuous rise in prices, which destroyed the value of the Iraqi currency and reaching a very low exchange rate, which made Coin and few currency denominations without value. It is noteworthy that the Iraqi dinar, which was equal to 3.22 dollars before Iraqs invasion of Kuwait in 1990, its value fell to one dollar equivalent to three thousand dinars by 1996, and the value of the exchange rate of the Iraqi currency significantly after 2003, but returned to stability at about 1200 dinars Per dollar. https://www.rudaw.net/arabic/business/19082019 Zul On 8/19/2019 at 9:53 PM, Butifldrm said:So.......they have had meetings and discussions with CBI. On 8/19/2019 at 9:53 PM, Butifldrm said: number of neighboring countries - exchange rates are very high against the dollar This must be their aspirations ~ to have exchange rate higher than USD. On 8/19/2019 at 9:53 PM, Butifldrm said: suggesting that "there is a step to delete the zeros preceding the coinage process to be a value for small groups to large. We know this..... On 8/19/2019 at 9:53 PM, Butifldrm said: inflation in the economy prevents the minting of coins and make them circulate among citizens Yep.....but not anymore. Inflations is at all time low now.... On 8/19/2019 at 9:53 PM, Butifldrm said: revealed in 2014 that the Central Bank completed its preparations for the issuance of coins of seven small categories There were ready then, they sure are ready now... On 8/19/2019 at 9:53 PM, Butifldrm said: It is noteworthy that the Iraqi dinar, which was equal to 3.22 dollars Why tell us this if that's not the direction. On 8/19/2019 at 9:53 PM, Butifldrm said: announced the parliamentary Finance Committee in the Iraqi parliament This announcement comes from Finance Committee......~ i think this is part of the process to give notice to the public of what's coming ('suddenly'). Thru previous & various articles, the public have been educated and have been made aware of the project to delete the zeros. Now is the time (justifications) to reintroduce the coins. Great timing. FML gazetted, draft budget discussions (in parliament) in Sept, reconstructions agreements signed......new CBI governor. Alaq going to AMF in Sept......and so many other positivities. Footnotes: The dinar we hold was introduced (officially) on Oct.15, 2003, fully implemented Jan 2004. All jmo...... 2 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
