rockfl9 Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 It is illegal for anyone to transport IQD out of Iraq. It must be smuggled out and that is a form of corruption. Why would anyone take the risk to move a pile of small notes when it would be easier to hide a smaller number of large ones. Then there is the added cost to pack and ship to a dealer. I also suspect that the CBI hasnt been wasting the money to keep up the supply of LDs so few of the preferred uncirculated note are not available in Iraq,.

If you CAN't take out MORE than you brought in, WHERE can the dealers get more dinar.? If you try to take out more by hiding it that is SMUGGLING , a CRIME (in most countries). Keep those "yard goats " rolling . we need the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalDinar Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Here's what the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website writes: “It is legal to transport any amount of currency or monetary instruments into or out of the United States,” But anyone carrying more than $10,000 must declare the amount by filing a Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary .. So if you declare $50,000 USDS when leaving US and entering Iraq you can then leave with that equal amount in dinars?? Not sure. I cant find any CBI law stating you cant leave Iraq with dinar. Maybe im misreading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfl9 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 My point is by Iraqi regulation Iraqis can't take out more than 100K dinar ( pocket change). Non Iraqis can't leave with more than they entered with. There must be a law . They probably can't retain non Iraqis but the money will be confiscated. So the dealers can't get fresh IQD. They can only sell what is already here. Of course DVers think that means we are close! .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalDinar Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 But why wouldn't the CBI want IQD to leave the country especially the higher valued notes. Many will just sit in a shoebox somewhere becoming worth less and less and the Central has USDS in hand. Its a win win trading a 25K note for dollars. Sure it shows up on their M-1 but its not a liability if people cant easily get into Iraq to cash them . Costs us about 5.4 cents to print a dollar bill.

Sounds like the price of the Dinar will be 10 cents each. 100,000 Dinar times .10 = $10,000, Just like the allowance for every other currency. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important function of the CBI is to be sure there is ample dinar in circulation IN IRAQ. The merchants can't sell or make change if there is not enough . When dinar is stored in a shoebox or a mattress it is not available. This forces the CBI to print more and that is an unnecessary expense. It costs about $1K to issue 1 million dinar and delivery could be months. It is very likely that shoebox dinar will not be returned but the CBI must account for it UNTIL it is officially demonetized ( a redenomination) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocalDinar Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 So you think the most important function of the FED is to print money? You don't think controlling inflation is just as important if not more? The Fed is the worlds largest Ponzi scheme. Unlike you, I don't think any inflation is a good thing. Its a tax on our savings. Nothing less. Those idiots tell us its at 6.8 % HAHAHAHA My materials have gone up nearly 100% in the last year. Seriously! I just pass these costs onto my customers who then pass them on to consumers. But on a good note I mark my materials up 15-20% so the more it costs the more I make. Inflation hurts the poor the most. And Brandon said he would not tax the poor. HAHAHA ya right.... You get what you pay for and i guess the majority wanted to be bent over. Aftercall that's what they voted for. I usually get a kiss first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those banks borrow from the FED at 1-2% and loan it at 4-6% . There is no such market in Iraq . I will admit the current WORLDWIDE ( not just our current administration) inflation problem is complex and has many roots. Some parts of it are here to stay, but not all. We had relatively low inflation for several years and the pressure built. There is not just one solution. First we need to get people back to work even if they don't want to.

SocalDinar Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Sure are right that people don't want to work. I am extremely busy with work. I could hire 4 people right now, but I'm tired of looking. Had a guy apply for a material handler position and he wanted $35.00 an hour. Not gonna do it. I'm done looking. Just gonna feed my crew all the overtime they want and use a labor resource. I heard the illegals seeking work in front of Home Depot want $30.00 an hour. HAHA Thats cash money! Thats insane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
