KTFA CHAT : IQD/USD CONVERSION DISCUSSION, 7 MARCH

 KTFA:

Dano2668:  IQD/USD? We are holding IQD, not converting to IQD. Should the chart not show this? around “.36” when you first open the chart to change the currencies it shows “Euro/USD”, wouldn’t we keep them in the same order and simply change the “EURO” for “IQD”?
…trying to understand what I’m looking at. .36 is still better than .0008 but ?   Thank you for the clarification when you have a moment.

DeepWoodz:    From Investopedia…

”A widely traded currency pair is the euro against the U.S. dollar or shown as EUR/USD. In fact, it is the most liquid currency pair in the world because it is the most heavily traded.1 The quotation EUR/USD = 1.2500 means that one euro is exchanged for 1.2500 U.S. dollars. In this case, EUR is the base currency and USD is the quote currency (counter currency). This means that 1 euro can be exchanged for 1.25 U.S. dollars.”

From forex.com

“Currency pairs are also known as forex pairs. If you buy a currency pair, you’re buying the base currency and selling the quote currency. The bid (buy price) represents how much of the quote currency you need to buy one unit of the base currency. If you sell the currency pair, you’re selling the base currency and buying the quote currency.”

So currently,(according to forexlive) yes you can buy one dollar for 2.78 dinar. So currently, yes the exchange rate we are looking at is round about $0.35.

Frank made a comment that makes sense. Perhaps they are waiting for supply and demand to bring the rate up equal to or greater than a dollar before releasing it to the citizens. Or perhaps they can change the rate at will. I don’t know. Perhaps they are watching some metrics to ensure the dinars ability to maintain its value on its own.
