gregp Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 So, IF, this is implying....... $1,000,000-million Dinar is equal to $10,000.00 USD at customs, then $1,000,000 Dinar will equal-= $0.01-penny. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I pray that is just a low threshold for compliance, ($0.01 -penny per dinar), and trying to curb the flow of Dinar outside the country. It also makes me wonder whether customs around the world will follow suit somehow? Wouldn't want my Dinar to get confiscated if traveling! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think (or hope 😄) they’re saying it’s more than that. Amounts up to $10,000 are fine $10,000-$20,000 require supporting documentation. And 1,000,000 dinars is prohibited. So, 1,000,000 dinars must be more than $20,000...? 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely points to a value increase of the Dinar although I would have liked them say one hundred thousand Dinar would be restricted. But at .10 one million Dinar would be one hundred thousand dollars. Good news though when they are restricting Dinar in and out including financial institutions. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my take on it as well...falls into the over 20k prohibited category. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laid Back Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Long time ago a had a conversation about the dinar with an economist friend who have a PhD in international finance. I just remembered his words; When a country is about to raise the value of their currency, the first thing they do Is to put a tight control on the funds that are brought in and taken out across the border. Something is going on.... 1,000,000 IQD = $840 dollars. I believe the decision from chairman of the Council for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing, concerning the controls on the declaration of funds. Is to keep a tight control on the monetary mass inside Iraq to proceed with the delete of the zeros project and raise the value of the IQD and also to prevent people Traveling outside of Iraq with millions of IQD to exchange at the international at the time of a revaluation. Remember, people inside Iraq at the time of a revaluation will get the same amount of money but with more purchasing power. People outside Iraq (like us) will get the international rate. Just my opinion. Go RV Go $1:1 2 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um ok, Im running on 4 hours of sleep fumes so forgive me if not understanding this correctly but if 1 million dinars = 800.00 that’s a big LOSS because paid around a 1,000 /million when I bought mine Am I seeing this wrong or are we taking a big loss here?

The reason you paid $1000.00 is because of the extra dealer exchange fee was probably an extra $300 bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
