...If they adjust the exchange rate and delete the zeroes who's going to need the dollar when they apply the new Real Effective Exchange Rate to it?
Nobody is going to need the dollar because the dinar is going to be stronger than the dollar and that's my opinion. We are in a situation where ...a political crisis...or surprises could change the exchange rate and that could come within hours...
Article: "Economics website: A new application enhances investment movement in Iraq"
Quote: “...The new index, called (RSISX Total Return), compares currency exchange rate changes and the returns achieved.” It is not surprising they have a new RSISX Total Returns index for currency exchange rate changes. With Al-Sudani's government mention of 1.32 dinars to the dollar yesterday and then today we see that there is talk of smaller denominations. Small enough to make change for 250 notes...Put all that with this new index being launched suggests for me, is that they are ready for change to come and not just in the exchange rate but...as in fils...This is another good sign Iraq is opening up to the world in a big way.

"RV UPDATE" BY PIMPY, 15 MARCH
Pimpy
I hold millions of dinar and people act like I don't want the $3.22 exchange rate with the current currency, 'No, Pimpy doesn't like it. He doesn't believe in it.' What the hell are you talking about? I own millions of dinars. Nothing would make me more happier than them to jump up to a $3.22 rate and keep the same bank notes that we got now.
Can the Iraqi dinar get as valuable as a Kuwait dinar? Of course it could. There's a lot of hurdles there. Are they [Iraq] going to be reinstated? No. Two different stories. The invasion and occupation [of Kuwait] was about 7 months...The Kuwait government was still able to do business as usual outside of Kuwait, use the money they had in their reserve fund. Iraq did not have that, not to mention the fact that Saddam Hussein... printed the hell out of the Iraqi dinar causing the value of the Iraqi dinar to drop...You can't compare Iraq to Kuwait because there's no comparisons...EXCERPTS FROM MARKZ, 25 NOV
