Are your dinars cut with perfect edges?

[pdx4me]

With the rumors about an RV perhaps in the near future, I decided to inspect our 25,000 dinars today and just realized that the bottom edges of all of the bills are uneven - not perfectly cut as US dollars are. They aren't as bad as if someone cut them with a pair of scissors but they are definitely not professionally cut - maybe they did that on purpose? We purchased our dinar over a year ago from Dinar Trade. Does anyone else have notes that look unevenly cut? Also, we noticed that several of our dinar appear to have the exact same serial numbers (if that's what they call them). Anyone else notice this? Thanks for your help!

[muydinar]

yes. I quit worrying about it years ago.

mmmmm......never looked at mine, as I was told GID is very reputable....maybe I'll go look now. BRB

well...mine are "pretty much" all even. If you took a microscopic straight edge to it, there'd be some discrepency. But I've seen the US dollar that way too.

As for the edges, I have no answer.

As for the serial numbers, I do.

The arabic numbers 2 and 3 (backwards 7's) have slight differences in them that do not shout out when looked at, but are there when you know what to look for.

Once you know what you are looking at, you will see.

This information comes from Dinar Trade after I panicked when I thought my serial numbers were duplicates. DT was very helpful in this.

You can google arabic numbers and see what numbers equal what numbers.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the assurance - bummer to get to cash-in and find our currency is not valid. Appreciate your input.

The bottom of some of my 25.000 notes are uneven..- yes it was disturbing to see. Like a upward cut in the middle -- very subtle but noticeable.

One note has a black spot on it - like an ink abnormality.

Hope they pass de la rue!

GIDassociates.com, where I got my dinar from, sells "uncirculated" bills. I do notice a bit of discrepency that would be noticed with a magnifying glass or if you looked at it real closely. But like I said, I think I have seen US dollars the same way.

Guess I should check mine too

I purchased from Dinar Profits (or OdioWorksLLC) has anybody heard of this company?

All the markings seem to be good though!

The first thing I'm gonna go to with the $$ from this is go buy a De La Rue..........wait...........

[Fummins]

Run them thru the blacklight test.

I just recently posted about this, had the same problem and question... and yes purchased from Dinar Trade... was told that they are ok, we shall see on cash in day!

[Banjolatusak]

I checked mine too. After tamping the bottom edge of my rather large stack on a flat level surface, I noticed that the top edges were un-even. So...I turned the stack over and tamped the top edges on the surface and guess what? Now the bottom edges are un-even! I'm at a loss...I can't figure out if it's the top edges that are un-even or if it's the bottom edges. Any help with this mystery would be greatly appreciated.

[Dickerd]

sounds bad ijust checked mine and they are all diff and even cut

[DavidM]

Just checked all my dinar and out of over 200 notes only one has a ruff edge on the side not the bottom..

[chanele22]

so does this mean any of these dinars are no good and won't be honored?

[Chancy949]

Mine are all even but I bought mine from a bank. Hold them up to the light and see if you have the security features. Horse head water mark? I would want to know NOW if mine were counterfeit and not on RV day!

[Captjohn]

I bought all my dinar from Dinar Trade and all edges are straight. You have to look very carefully at the serial numbers. Some of the changes are very slight and hard to pick out, but they are different.

[Sort]

You guys, don't panic now. I really hardly think that the edges they cut has really anything to do with the value. They should be fine, if it's bothering you, call your dealer and ask.

1) they are NOT cut as precisely by De La Rue as the USD

2) get a loop and look at the Eastern Arabic numbers and you will see that they are different ... google Eastern Arabic numerals and you'll even know what they are.

3) read and do everything in the following post to authenticate your IQD ... it would be a shame to get surprised when you cash in ... DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE

4) IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU BOUGHT THEM ... CHECK THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace

How disappointing...With all the highly intelligent respondants to this topic I'm supprised no-one recognized my attempt to convey, rather absurdly, the point that it's not the edges we should be concerned about. If you bought from DinarTrade all their notes go thru the De La Rue machine when they arrive from Iraq, then again when they are shipped to you, and will again when you exchange them. Don't sweat it.

[Mongo]

I will only worry about the edges if they become worthless
