capt.cliff Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I am curious ,I am not the sharpest tack in the box but while the dollar sales are down as I see it--to further dry up the 000s why not just offer a small increase in premium to take back and out of circulation the big bills, not a RV/Ri but just reduce the bills in foriegn circulation---while ,there are certainly many holders out there that can make money off of small changes of rate verses when they accumulated their dinar. A very good example[small investors] are those who have been in this for 6 or 7 years or longer and who would be happy for .10 --big investors[whales ] would buy and sell the dinar much like a commodity----they must be getting right around their strangle point by now from tying up all that cash [with no resale value except at a loss] by now just asking--It seems the focus has been on how many dinars are held in Iraq --mostly likely the whales hold far more already outside Iraq than the population, businesses--companies and us little guys-- Iraq has already made arrangements with governments about cashing in but maybe they are NOT the biggest holders of Dinar as we are not this point to my knowlege has never been presented before Capt.

Markinsa Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 That's why you hear some people say that Iraq will come out with an initial low value and then gradually increase, in order to catch those who don't know better than to wait until it increases. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
