flack Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have searched the internet looking for other articles that back up the infamous lop article but haven't been able to find any. Has anyone found a reliable news source that corroborates the lopping story? It seems that a story this big would be covered by other reliable news sources such as NYTimes. The lopping story does sound fesible however, where's the backup? Before we throw in the towel and cry uncle, let's investigate the source.

tabi Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 IMO the article doesn't sound legit. It obviously wasn't translated. Why? because it was originally written in english. That tells me it didn't come from an Iraq source. No other articles to back it up. They wouldn't brodcast it before it happened. Not to mention...It wouldn't make a difference! Unless, they print a new currency in smaller denomination and RV "JUST" the new currency and at the same time they LOP the old new currency three zeros. Why? Because if they don't RV the new currency I could just go out and buy up a million worth of the new stuff and wait for IT to RV.I'm not 100% certain but.....I don't think they can reprint again, LOP and RV all at the same time. That's just stupid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope for the best!Yup, you're right fatcat, I still remember the broo-ha-ha from the article in early December 2007. Much ado about nothing. Over two years later my feeling is this will be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbann Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 http://www.iraqdirectory.com/DisplayNews.aspx?id=11500This still does not seem to be an official news source. It is a directory of sorts which supplies webportals to businesses in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 http://www.iraqdirectory.com/DisplayNews.aspx?id=11500 This seems to be the same article. If it were being reported by reliable sources, there would be more than one accounting of what is being said. Not saying it is a bogus article, just saying there would be more than one article talking about it. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lopping story does sound fesible however, where's the backup? Before we throw in the towel and cry uncle, let's investigate the source.Well, if it matters, I did send an email with the redenomination story to that AnswarIraq [sp?] Website asking if they could verify the information. And if so, why they were not reporting it. I sent that email @ 5am this morning and have yet to receive a response. I will let you guys know if I do.

guitarfreak Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm personally hoping they put out lower denominations that way as long as they don't lop they'll be forced to revalue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 lil' help here for a newbie: what does LOP stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammad Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 lil' help here for a newbie: what does LOP stand for? When someone calls you a lop it means you are a stupid person but when you lop 3 zeros off from the Iraqi Dinar (IQD or NID) it means you would say, 25,000 IQD subtract 3 zeros = 25 IQD and 10,000 IQD subtract 3 zeros = 10 IQD. Anyway, do not worry about lopping IQD anymore because Iraq has another plan to ensure that all banknotes with higher denominations might be obsolete by the end of this year 2010 and there is a sufficient time frame for us to exchange them all into lower denominations. This plan is to get all the IQD into lower denominations are actually meant to make life easy for all buyers and sellers within Iraq and it has nothing to do with dinar holders like us. The revaluation (an RV) is possibly soon, if not sooner. Now, do you understand? As you log into this blog site everyday, you would soon understand more.www.internetslang.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the IQD is not revalued, cashier counters would have no spaces to store tons of hard cash and so do many thousands of bus drivers, taxi drivers, tellers in a bank and so on. www.internetslang.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raise the value, then release what they raised so everybody understands what they have and how much it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
