Luigi1 Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 here's an article from Dinarland... The pressure is on the CBI to get it done. The IQD weakens against the USD. RV-RI exchange options may be on the table. Treat as a rumor. Not verified. Your opine. Sandy Ingram: ARTICLE: So what would they (Iraq) need to do in order to increase the value of their currency? One thing they could do would be to create a new currency like Kuwait did & provide a window of time when people could exchange the old Iraqi dinars for the new currency or they could go digital. But where does either of these options leave us as investors? Get a valid passport. There are ways you and I will be able to fly into the Middle East.. We need to prepare for this option now. Clare: ARTICLE: “Al-Maliki makes the approval of the oil & gas law conditional on this matter” THAT IS NOT NURI AL-MALIKI. IT IS A DIFFERENT GUY WITH THE SAME LAST NAME. Frank26 Boots-On-The-Ground Report via FIREFLY: ARTICLE: The Prime Minister came out and says we’re going to have foreign currency in our market. FRANK: Yes, because you’re going international. From other sources: ARTICLE: The Dollar Continues To Exceed The Threshold Of 1,500 Dinars. - Economie - 09:35 – 08/12/2022 - Baghdad.

Is this some kind of In-Country RV, like when Kuwait RI'ed the KWD a long time ago? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even IF this kind of scenario were to happen like Kuwait, I know my client did all his transactions via the black market. I really don't think anyone would want to charter a jet to the ME....unless you really wanted so save on whatever black market fees would incur. People will find a way to exchange their dinars over here, maybe DT and/or DB will come back, or some other dinar dealer? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kuwait RV did not require you to go to Kuwait to do the exchange. Most people went to a local bank or a FOREX exchange at a major international airport. I was a contractor in Saudi Arabia at the time the KD RVed. Those people exchanged right in Jeddah without flying to Kuwait. Just saying. 2 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hspotman Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I honestly think this is all just more 'hype' to get us thinking about the RV,and to get you to purchase more to make up for the $$ you'd pay to charter a plane to Iraq. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad you said that. I prefer trade in dinar for dollars in the States much more convenient, unless someone want to go to ME for taking holidays. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 It will (or at least was) easy to fly to Kuwait where they will most likely have some money changers. Detroit to Amsterdam to Kuwait. t won't be inexpensive because 15 years ago it was $1500 US. (one way). I would not chance flying into BIAP Airport with a bunch of IQD. My trust level is very low when it comes to Iraq. However, If you do want to fly to Iraq you can go to La Guardia to Aman Jordan (Princes Alia Airport) and into Baghdad International Airport. Good luck, you may need it either way due to the large sums of IQD you are transporting. When I made both trips several times 04-07 they checked all my bags at beginning and ending flights. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is too risky to bring a suitcase full of IQD being confiscated by customs officers when they check the suitcase through the X-ray machine at the airport. It is much better to trade in dinar for dollars in the States eventhough we have to pay higher taxes. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that exchanged in Saudi Arabia or in Kuwait City were required to open up a Bank of Kuwait account & leave the money in their account for at least 30 days. In exchange, the Bank of Kuwait charged no handling or exchange fees. FYIO. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless , there is a Citibank's branch in Kuwait city and when someone open up account in the Citibank in Kuwait city , then can someone withdraw all the money in the Citibank after someone is back to the states? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other banks have 3 or 6 month minimum requirements. Open up an account & leave that afternoon. Under the new SIPS payment system, you can electronically transfer funds in seconds from your home to you home bank. The bank will also offer you a unlimited revolving charge card based on your total bank holdings. You can even open up a Bank of Kuwait account without having to go to Saudi Arabia or Kuwait City. Problem solved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an incorrect assumption - no one would need an American Bank to be any safer than a local Kuwaiti bank. International banking is just as safe as any US bank, there are good established banks and smaller banks that you might not want to use - just like here. 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time they are making up BS as they go or are just guessing when it comes to int'l banking options. I still have an active Deutsche Bundesbank account to this very day from Germany. I been there...done that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind...foreign banks have different rules & regulations than US banks do. It's not that they are unsafe or unreliable banks. They do business differently than we do.

And whatever the gurus say never come true. May be dinar dealers pay the gurus to talk BS. So people who believe what the gurus say will immediately buy the dinar from dinar dealers. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
