I just dont understand why everyone wants to take the re-denom and twist it to a lop its easy math and some of the best news out and the simplest to understand if an iraqi goes to buy a loaf of bread after the rv the store might have to close or order an armorred car to give the man his change if they did not re-dom but again there is no mention of a lop . Simply put it into usd terms and at the bank you recieve 5 twentirs instead of a hundred dollar bill . I dont think I can paint a more simplistic picture but if I think of one Ill post !! Dont get stressed over a simple matter Besides they probably started the large de-noms first to easily exchange at an RV so there is not so much paper to deal with . Would you think you might be a bigger target at rv if you backed up to bank with a dolly and brick after brick of small paper or would you rather have an envelope in your pocket un-noticeable just think on this and dont stess yourselves out !!

There will not be a RV like we want there is way to speculation on this investment and the CBI knows its.It will most likely be a slow climb and oneday………oneday we might see it hit where we want it.I pray I’m wrong.

I don’t think that there will be any removal of “zeros” from the iraqi dinar. How will they account for people with millions of dinars in bank accounts vs. people with millions of dinars in cash. So if I hold 5,000,000 cash it will be changed to 5,000, but if I have 5,000,000 dinar in bank account it will remain unchanged (I don’t think so). I don’t think any lop of zeros from currency will occurr.

this delay is going to seriously curtail my valentine’s day gift-buying experience.

So nothing happened today. I assume that we now have to wait until after the election based on the laws which state nothing can take place with an RV 30 days prior to an election. So, that being said, are the elections still set for the 12th? How does Maliki plan on winning this thing without an RV? Any thoughts?

They say that because if they lop and it remains the same means our 25,000 dinar note that is now worth $25 US will lose the 0′s and still be worth $25 US.I know it is all of our biggest fear.Please Please let it be propaganda.I hope it works and all the people thinking about investing don’t.So they beleived it worked and do a real RV like we all want.I still will try to stay possitive.

the meaning behind the reuters claim “the value will remain unchanged” is a simple balance in the math formula.

when they reduce your old 10000 dinar note to a newer 10 dinar note, they mean they will print new currency in smaller denominations. a new 10 dinar would be the same as an old 10,000 dinar. (maybe even less since it is now an outdated bill) the old 10,000 note will only be valued as a 10 dinar note in the new currency change. the purchasing power of the dollar has not decreased.

When you are investing in a foreign currency with US dollars, you are betting that the foreign currency will outgrow the US dollar, inflation, and the costs to convert it.
