Just thinking out loud..... so they are going gsinar only on 1st January. and apparently they are going digital as well and they will actively discourage the use of cash..... so, do they really need lower denims and fils. Sure there will be people with no bank account and dinar stuffed in mattresses  but are these people really going to part with their money when it would cost more than using a debit card? Will they limit the amount of lower notes in circulation, which would push the value up? Will they really need to change the rate at all if they are digital and don't release the lower notes? We know the lower notes don't work without a rate so logic would dictate they need to change it but if they don't release those noted do they really need to do it by January???

we're digital in the US. electronic everything. but I still use cash as well. They are not as advanced as we are as far as going digital, and are going to need cash. If they do change the rate come January, they will have to have lower denoms in those ATM machines. Going all in on the dinar is huge. I just don't know if that will trigger the rate change. Logic says yes. But when has logic and Iraq been kissing cousins?

I feel similar to the rate changing in January. It seems that it should but I would not be surprised if it doesn't. Time is definitely running out for folks who don't hold dinar to go get some while they can.
