MZ: I think it’s important to bring this up and hope I don’t cause a panic with it. A person in our community had an interesting conversation. He has a personal relationship with a banker.
MZ:Quote: “Met for dinner with a banking executive. After a couple plates of wings and a couple bottles of wine the banker told me about the basket, or first round is going to be only the Iraqi dinar and the Iranian Rial.
He said those countries are gold backed and their internal banking systems are more set up…more so then the others are. The dong should be ready to exchange by late fall.
The bolivar and rupiah are in the first round but will be later on….maybe even into 2025.
It all depends when these countries banking certs (certificates?) are completed. He did not know about the shotgun start and said it will be easier to roll them out piecemeal. He also said it was to early to speculate on Zim bonds. He said eventually in the next 15 years or so all currencies will be at 1 to 1.
MZ: Guys, this is just one bankers opinion….so nobody panic. But I take it as a very good sign. And its best to be prepared……or What if it does roll this way ????? I thought it was worth sharing ......
Mon. 11 March Texas Snake:I am very, very limited on what I can share. This starts at the top of the food chain and wanders down to our level. The most extraordinary news I have heard yet regarding our position: stay close and be prepared fornotifications very shortly, in days, not months.
Banks have been placed on alert beginning Mon. 11 March. He felt we might get notified on Mon. but exchanging would start a few days after that.
As to Reno and Freight hangers, every airling traveling into Reno has a freight hanger, those being contacted to travel to Reno are providing a tenative arrival time and are being assigned a freight terminal, one they have exchanged and departed the next scheduled arrival is assigned that terminal. If there are 6 freight terminals then each one has been set up to do currency exchanges.

Banks have been placed on alert beginning Mon. 11 March, so he feels we are close. We might get notified but exchanging would start a few days after that.
With everything re the updated banking system scheduled to begin next Monday it might serve as a distraction for us as well.Nothing new to report as yet, will advise should anything come across.
