Gardeniacountry Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 It would stand to reason that if we did have trillions of dinar in the treasury that it would be for a DARN good reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi1 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Of course. It holds almost all currencies like any other nation that has currency auctions to weaken or strengthen it's own currency for political & economic gain. Every nation on earth does this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raleighwood Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I would bet they do. Why wouldn't they? Most countries invest in other countries currencies... especially ones they OCCUPY.... They MIGHT hold some as they used to in the 90s but to think they are holding trillions waiting on a RV is a little absurd and ignorant.....countries don't buy currency for profit.....they do it to manage monetary policy.....

Gardeniacountry Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 So Bush's plan for the war to pay for itself did not necessarily include only what they held in the treasury, but also what the US population held that would be taxed ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where have you been? Iraq has been printing currency nonstop......there was over 2 trillion in 2002 and its been growing ever since! So Bush's plan for the war to pay for itself did not necessarily include only what they held in the treasury, but also what the US population held that would be taxed ? Bushs plan for the war to pay for itself was about taking iraqs resources to cover the bill......but even then that never came from bushs mouth but from his advisors or whatever u call them......and it was statements made about taking oil to pay for the war which people were NOT very happy about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of folks on DV checked what they had for print date ( which is on the note) and found dates for most years up to 2010. No 2011 bills were found at that time.

taxguy Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 A few months ago I attended a talk given by the chief economist for one of the largest banks in world. This guy is responsible for investment decisions regarding hundreds of billions of dollars worth of client portfolios. I asked him about Iraq and he replied that Iraq could be an economic power house but that it could also end up as a basket case, too early to tell because of the instability in the government and the region. I asked him if the US Treasury held dinar and told me, no, that the US Treasury does not hold dinar beyond what it needs for operational purposes, such has the US Embassy in Baghdad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've obviously printed since than... But to what extent? To exchange currencies that have become ripped, torn, or nearly useless? Life expectancy of a currency on average over there is 1.5 years. A large portion of the population uses hard currency. So, switching to electronic would be a HUGE PLUS! So, when we hear they've printed up to 31 trillion or so... That means since roughly 2004, they've printed 25 trillion dinars. That is over 3 trillion a year And it took 21 747 jumbo jets to deliver the 6.43 trillion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
