Huntersailer Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ok, I was surfing the XE.com site (http://www.xe.com/currency/iqd-iraqi-dinar) and found the NOTICE below: "The Iraqi Dinar is the currency of Iraq. The currency code for Dinars is IQD, and the currency symbol is د.ع . Below, you'll find Iraqi Dinar rates, a currency converter, Iraqi Dinar News and more. You can also subscribe to our currency newsletters with daily rates and analysis, or take IQD rates on the go with our XE Mobile apps for your iPhone, BlackBerry, or even your regular phone. Notice: IQD may be redenominated:In 2010, the Central Bank of Iraq announced their plans to redenominate the Iraqi Dinar to ease cash transactions. The intention would be to drop three zeros from the nominal value of bank notes; but the actual value of the dinar would remain unchanged. That would mean that 1,000 IQD (pre-redenomination) and 1 dinar (post-redenomination) would both be worth the same amount in US Dollars. Although the announcement stated that the change would take place by the end of 2010, there has been no redenomination as of January 2011 and no further announcements have been made. As stated by the Central Bank of Iraq, their mandate is to "ensure domestic price stability and foster a stable competitive market based financial system." For more information about the redenomination, read "Iraq Planning Currency Redenomination." " The question is, what does this mean and how long has this been here? Has anyone seen this before or is this new? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntersailer Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I greatly appreciate both of your replies. But other than insulting me, you have provided no information to answer my questions. If you can't say anything worthwhile then don't say anything at all. Keep your insults and snide remarks to yourself. I asked a legitimate question, and got **** on. People of your caliber don't deserve to even post.

gp49 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Welcome Huntersailor. That has been there at least several months. I remember the first time I saw that, how excited I was, and I received the same curt, semi snotty answers. I remember I asked one time what "peeps" meant (didn't have a clue) and no one even bothered answering me and I ask again and one guy told me that it meant "people" and added..."you got to be kidding, right?" I mostly just read and don't post much but I just wanted to welcome you and encourage you to keep reading and you will learn what you need to learn. Pay attention to Adam, the mods, and a few others who are grounded (you'll learn who) and have some fun. gp49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read all the post before this and unless something was removed I didn't see anything to cause you to have such and attitude. Some of your question was answered. Yes we have seen it and it is very old news. But hey thanks for the post and keep searching.

Hi HunterSailer, I have a feeling your post will be moved to the L section. If you would like an explanation of what this means, I think you will get an explanation in that section from some people with knowledge on this subject and they won't bash you for asking. I too feel it is a legitimate question and you deserve an answer. Unfortunately, you cannot discuss this subject in any section but the L forum. Happy Friday, Kimberlye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin-Powers-for-PM Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 That is one the Loppers favorite documents to prove that Iraq is going to do a straight lop, nothing more, nothing less. Basically it's a CYA notice just in case that is Iraq's intention. Imagine if they put up there that Iraq planned on RV'ing their currency and then by some bizzare reason they Lopped. Could you imagine how many lawsuits they would be subjected to? Way to many to count. No worries mate, it will RV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridewithme38 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Since this is all Fact, shouldn't this be in the News Section instead of the rumors section? Granted, its 9 month old news...But still having it in the rumor section, when it is in no way a rumor....is a bit misleading Edited September 2, 2011 by Ridewithme38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PD46 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) I first saw that on the site early in Jan., 2011. Wasn't there before that. I first noticed it in May of 2010. I wish I had saved the original posting in May of 2010. The original message used to read that the IQD "would" be redenominated in December of 2010; instead of saying it "may" redenominate in 2010. XE changed the language after nothing happened. Also, (not certain if it still does) the statement used to have a link in it; when clicked, it would carry a person over to a Rueters article that had some article about the redenomination of the IQD. The problem was when you actually went to Rueters to confirm the article was legitimate, there was no article on the actually Rueters website. The only way to see the article was by clicking the link on the XE website. It appeared that XE was posting a bogus article by trying to quote Rueters as the source. It means nothing, other than it is a legal disclaimer to cover XE from lawsuits.. XE doesn't know anymore than anyone else; meaning they are in the dark also. No worries. If that disclaimer and XE were accurate, then a redenomination would have happened by December of 2010, dinar talk and chatter would be a mute point by this time, and we wouldn't still be researching and waiting for the RV.

Its been something that the CBI has talked about for years now.....it COULD happen.....we just dont know yet if they will follow through.... This is the downside to this investment....alot of people will tell you it will never happen and those are the ones who dont fully understand it or are just scared to face the possible outcomes.... This plan to redenominate is actually in the parliments hands being voted on.....hopefully they throw it out and go back to the drawing board on how to raise the value of the dinar.... You will have to excuse some of the people here....we were all newbies once and you posted a valid question..... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they first announced their intentions to do this in 2006, and have followed through with sporadic press releases confirming their intentions. It is only lately, especially since June 19 of this year when the plan was presented to Maliki, have the press releases been coming out multiple times per week. That said, it is, and always has been a distinct possibility. Anyone saying otherwise is very poorly informed. Before this can take place, there are many hurdles that have to be cleared; of which Maliki may be the most difficult. There is little doubt that this is the CBI's first choice. In 2006, the Minister of Finance and Shabibi's fore runner first announced it as the plan. Shabibi has continued to reinforce the possibility ever since. However, it hasn't passed parliament, and unless Shabibi really wants the political fallout of exercising the CBI's autonomy to unilaterally affect the Iraqi currency, it may never come to pass. This is just one more of another uncertainties we face. XE is merely offering the only information that has been released from Iraq in the past 5 years that may affect the Dinar. Welcome to DV. As you have already found out, questions that require pragmatic thought are often faced with disdain. There is a special place for second class citizens here to openly discuss the possibilities. If you pursue this, you will be banished to that realm. It is the intellectual equivalent of Racism, but life goes on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
