DrDinar Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Is math really that hard? If some are saying 1.12, are we saying 1 dinar = $1.12 USD? If this is the case, then the dinar number would be lower than the USD number, because if it was 1 = 1 then it would be 93 billion dinar (93 billion dollars). If the rate was 1 = 1.12 it would be 93 billion dinar (104.16 billion dollars) 93 billion Iraqi dinars (79.6 billion dollars) = rate 0.86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishinDenver Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Ok... this math looks right to me...the amount of dinar (93 bilion) is larger than the amount of USD(79.6 billion) so it would be 1.16 dinar = 1 USD If it were .85 then the amount of dinar would have to be smaller than the = to amount of dollars ..... GO RV!!!! Now all I wanna know is when to I cash in????? Monday????? one dinar is worth.8559 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoe Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Certainly not wanting to be a pessimist, but I agree with this statement by keepmwlknfny. I also remember seeing that the budget figure were quoted originally in trillions of dinars, not billions. Maybe it's a typo...or how about the possibility something getting lost in the translation. The trillion terminology comes from what they have in reserve of oil in dollars and dinars. Billion is sounds right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twc68 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not to be a downer, but they may have just misprinted the number, eg 93 trillion instead of 93 billion giving you a rate of .000856, or the current exchange rate, just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you devied 79.6 into 93 you get 1.16 so it looks as if 1.16 dinars = 1 USD Looks like a TYPO should have been million dollars (divide by 1170) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky69 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Current rate 1 USD=0.000855 IQD (basically 1/10th of a cent 1.00/0.000855=1169.59(1USD=1170 IQD) Remove,delete,lop three zeroes from nominal value of IQD then 1 USD=0.855 IQD 1.00/0.855=1.169(1 USD=1.17IQD If the budget was to include an RV then wouldn't it make sense for all the terminoligy in the budget to refer to the dinar in the billions instead of trillions?If this is the case and they are actually stating that their budget is 93 billion dinar and it is equivalent to 79.6 billion US then it is clearly stating that the dinar is worth more than the USD. 93,000,000,000 (IQD)/79,600,000000(USD)=1.168 IQD/1 USD JMO but I wouldn't put it past Shabs and the GOI to manioulate the budget to reflect doing this.And I also think it's just the starting point to get some investors out draw in some new ones and leave some sitting on the fence waiting.Myself I'll cash in a bit so I can sit back and relax while it does it's thing.again,jmo.

hammy Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Don't think that is the case. In their constitution it states that once a rate is determined and say an R.V. is posted ------ they can only raise the value of current posted rate by 2% every 6 months. So say the rate comes in at 0.85 six months later they can raise it to 0.86 six months after that to 0.88. At this rate it would take 30 years for the currency to equal kuwaiti dinar. Iraq is going to post the R.V. at the highest possible rate that they can. Edit:Spelling Edited January 8, 2011 by hammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet B Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Im pretty sure this is a typo.....the budget is supposed to be 91 or 93 TRILLION dinar.......guess we will see.....check other news sources..... This is just a quick thought, I suck at math especially with all those 0's but any chance the budget went from Trillion to Billion from then using a post RV amount????
