 Community comment "We don't have to pay taxes on dinar exchange."  Stop that nonsense...how dumb is that.  Where in history of the United States of America have you seen our government say you don't have to pay any tax on any of that?  They'll chase you until Hades to get the taxes they think you owe them.  Don't deceive yourself.  Don't be that way.  That's  part of proper stewardship.  You're going to pay taxes and pay them... 

[NOTE: Consult your tax professionals at the appropriate time to determinate proper tax for your unique circumstances]

Once you see the HCL IMO within nanoseconds afterwards you will see the new exchange rate...

  You want to know the exchange rate of the BRICS because maybe, maybe the Iraqi dinar will be 1 to 1 with a basket of BRICS.  Maybe...one clue.  It's an RI not and RV.  

Question:  "Has anything changed in regards to Iraq satellite banks exchanging dinars for US citizens?"  

 No.  They will follow American banking laws.  They won't do anything different than any American bank is doing in American territory.

 Oil Rises After A Week Of Intense Sales Due To Supply And Demand Concerns

Saturday 18, November 2023 08:41 | Economical Number of readings: 273  Baghdad / NINA / The price of Brent crude oil, the global standard, remained below $80 per barrel, a day after it fell 5% to the lowest level in 4 months due to increasing fears of escalating supplies from outside the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and slowing demand.

By yesterday evening, Friday, Brent crude futures rose $1.34, or about 1.7%, to $78.76 per barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude rose to $74.1, an increase of $1.2, or about 1.7% as well.

The two benchmarks lost about one-sixth of their value over the past four weeks, and prices are heading towards recording a fourth week of losses.

“Oil prices have fallen slightly this year, although demand has exceeded our optimistic expectations,” Goldman Sachs analysts said in a note.

They added, "OPEC's non-essential supplies were much stronger than expected, and partially offset the OPEC cut."

The reason for the decline in oil this week was mainly due to the sharp rise in US crude inventories and the continuation of production at record levels, and the shrinking demand in China also raised concerns./ End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1090476
