  Question:  "Do we have to have our currency for over a year? 

 For tax purposes, yeah.  If you have your currency for at least one year you're in the about 20% tax bracket.  If you have had it for less than one year and you exchange it you're in about the 40%.  If you have had it for one year and you don't have a receipt, you're in the 40%.  If you've had it for one year and you got a receipt you're in the 20%.

 [NOTE:  Some gurus feel the dinar exchange will be taxed as capital gains, others feel ordinary income and other not taxed at all.  The only opinion that matters is the IRS's - Consult a tax professional at the appropriate time to determine the right tax for your unique circumstances.]

  The CBI is not calling them 'lower denoms', they are calling them 'Lower notes'.  They also explain the need for fractional banking through the coins they will be giving them.  They are not using the word fractional banking with the citizens but they are telling them they will be able to get change so they will not lose money.

 I don't plan to go to a bank.  Can you imagine?

 ...I got 10 million dinars, here...Personally I  don't plan to go into a bank to exchange my currency.   I will have a team ...I'm going to have my lawyer get a hold of the bank and  say, 'I represent Mr. [Frank26] and Mrs. [Frank26] and they want to make an appointment for you to come to their house and collect  a large amount of foreign currency...My lawyer will already know exactly what the bank is going to offer me...The less contact I  have with the bank the better...If you have a small amount then you're going probably go into the bank.

 Question:  Any chatter from RVcenters...?  

MarkZ:  I know my RV center folks are planning to be on call this weekend.

 ”The Central Bank of Iraq decides to restore the mechanism of financing foreign trade to Iraq starting next March”When they say “Next March” They mean this March of 2024 . What does this mean ? 

This is all about foreign currencies and International Acceptance!   We have been looking for some of these announcements and now we are getting them. They want to strengthen the dinar…This is really great. This is all about international Trade and movement of money.

Comment:  I hear they are moving forward wihin 10 days. MarkZ:  I was told that their goal is by the 20th…but I could live with 10 days…by the end of February...My gut is screaming we will see this in the month of February based on the number of requests to keep us quiet and  the banking anticipation …And, a number of sources say we could get it by the 20th now...I think everything is done and we are just waiting on them to release it...My contacts in Iraq are telling me this…as well as bankers and government contacts. …Things are screaming at us that we are close.
