May be iraq prefer use usd instead of iqd because they think iqd is still worthless currency and they have been trying to keep it that way for almost 18 years. Who and what do you think that can push and force iraq to rv the iqd immediately? A lot of hostile protests to take down the current government, like what happened to saddam regime back in 2003?

I have the fewest dinar and i only bought dinar one time on ebay a long time ago and everything went smoothy. And i never bought dinar again since that. Enough is enough. I am happy what i have. if i say if the iqd doesn't rv, i don't regret and lose much when i sell back to dinar dealers. But i am still hoping iqd will rv At Least between 10 cents to 1 buck.
