🏦 Lower Denominations & Exchange Rate — Which Comes First?
Frank26 shared his opinion on how the RV rollout should happen:
🗣️ “There should be a showing of the samples and specimens of the lower notes in the banks, quickly followed — within 24 hours — by the introduction of the new exchange rate by lifting the three zeros.”
📌 Key takeaway:
Whether lower notes appear first or the rate adjusts first, one automatically triggers the other.
👉 In Frank’s view, the sequencing is less important than the near-simultaneous execution.
🎯 January 1, 2026 — A Target, Not a Promise
Frank also addressed the increasingly mentioned date:
🗓️ January 1, 2026
✔ He is not declaring it an RV date
✔ He believes Iraq is intentionally signaling it
✔ Ignoring the signal would be unrealistic
📌 Interpretation:
A target date allows markets, banks, and citizens to mentally and operationally prepare — without a formal announcement.
💎 Asset-Backed Value: Why This Time Is Different
Militia Man highlighted a crucial difference between
then and now:💰 During Iraq’s previous higher-rate era ($3.22 / $2.80):
❌ No accounting for massive untapped assets
💎 Today:
✔ ~$16 trillion in natural resources
✔ ~350 billion pounds of silica
✔ Multiple new non-oil revenue streams
📌 Why it matters:
These assets directly support a Real Effective Exchange Rate (REER) — something Iraq did not have before.
👉 Strong assets = stronger currency fundamentals.
🔄 Platform Shutdown — A Controlled Test?
Clare shared insight from Iraqi economists regarding the dollar platform:
📰 “A sudden shutdown without official announcement may have been a trial measure to test the market’s ability to adapt.”
📌 Implication:
Demand behavior is being observed
Market resilience is being tested
The CBI is simulating post-platform conditions
This aligns with pre-adjustment stress testing, not chaos.
🌍 IQD Going International?
Walkingstick added a bold but consistent observation:
🗣️ “The IQD is going international due to no restrictions on their currency.”
📌 Meaning:
Currencies cannot internationalize while restricted or artificially suppressed.
👉 Lifting restrictions is often a prerequisite to normalization and valuation changes.
🧠 RV Watcher Summary
All voices align on core signals:
✔ Lower notes discussion is active
✔ Asset-backed valuation is stronger than ever
✔ Market testing is underway
✔ January 1, 2026 is repeatedly referenced
✔ Currency restrictions are easing
❌ No official RV announcement
❌ No confirmed rate
But:
📈 The structural narrative is accelerating
⭐ Featured Snippet
Frank26 and Militia Man say Iraq’s massive assets, lower notes, and January 1, 2026 signaling point to growing readiness for a dinar exchange rate change.
🔮 Final Thought
The RV will not arrive with fireworks.
It arrives when structure, assets, and confidence converge.
And right now…
👉 The signals are no longer subtle.

IMO I think there should be a showing of the samples and the specimens of the lower notes in the banks quickly followed, within 24 hours by the introduction of your new exchange rate by lifting the three zeros. That's what I believe should happen. Let's see what happens....Whether it be the rate first or the lower notes first, it doesn't matter because one introduces the other...
They are giving you a target date [January 1, 2026]. It's that obvious IMO. Now I'm not saying that's the date for the new exchange rate, they're suggesting it. It would be unfair to me if I didn't consider it.

When Iraq was back in that 'previous era', let's call it $3.22/$$2.80, they didn't include all these [New revenue streams] that we're talking about.
Didn't include $16 trillion worth of assets, natural resources that they have. They didn't include the 350 billion pounds of silica... That's powerful because that's income that goes to support the value of the real effective exchange rate. Keep that in mind and you can see how this is playing out...
Clare Article: "Economists: A sharp rise in the dollar exchange rate will put the Central Bank and the Iraqi economy in a very difficult situation"
Quote: "...It is also possible that the platform's shutdown without an official announcement was a trial measure to test the market'sability to adapt to the new situation without a platform, and how the demand for the dollar and its exchange rates might be after this sudden platform shutdown."
Walkingstick
The IQD is going international due to no restrictions on their currency.
