suzieQ Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Just wondering if anyone knows anything about why the banks in Australia were shut down yesterday from mid day to midnight no one could withdraw from ATMs or get in the banks? I have a friend I play online poker with and he said no one could get any money out yesterday from mid day till midnight. He tried all day and then finally after midnight the ATMs were back working? Hmmm...east meets west? Yikes...wrong section?....sorry if I posted in wrong place:o Edited December 15, 2011 by suzieQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzieQ Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks...I was hoping maybe there were some Aussies on board... I only play poker with this guy and he was complaining about not being able to get money from his bank and tried atm...then realized other banks were down as well. I just found it kind of ironic...nothing was ever mentioned about IQD...he was just venting about how he couldn't go to the bar cause he couldn't get any money...

Affected ATM withdrawals, internet banking etc. Only affected one bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked him to check Forex out of curiosity and he said there is no IQD listed anywhere...not even for US/IQD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmstreet61 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yes it was only the Commonwealth Bank of Australia...in fact...they sent me an email apologizing for any disruption.....I hadn't actually noticed any disruption...must've happened whilst I was in my favorite cafe...reading DinarVets posts...lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, some sites list IQD and some don't. Once it becomes an internationally traded currency it will show up on all of the sites. I believe it will happen simultaneously around the world, if/when it does it change. Don't put too much credence into the east/west, timezone thing.
