One of the decisions stipulates that "the entry and exit of amounts exceeding (1,000,000) (one million Iraqi dinars) is prohibited even if they have been declared, and the amount is withheld and legal proceedings are taken."

Hmmmmmmm!

This looks like a Million OR more Iqd is NOT allowed to cross the border ( would include airports) at all. AND sounds like it would be subject to confiscation and prosecution !!!!!!   

Soo you cant even take your IQD back to Iraq if you wanted to !!!   

Is this preparation for an RD ?

Is this a new law? I remember reading years ago that like the US anything over $10,000 worth of dinar had to be declared.

If this is a new law Iraqi dinar will be harder to get here in the US which will drive the price up for those wanting to buy dinar here

One of the decisions stipulates that "the entry and exit of amounts exceeding (1,000,000) (one million Iraqi dinars) is prohibited even if they have been declared, and the amount is withheld and legal proceedings are taken."

Earlier rulings limited Iraqis to caring 10,000  Iqd out of the country.  Not sure what the penalty was then. now for 1 mil it looks like they are subject to arrest !
