Walkingstick [via Guru Frank26] Phase two is another step in the exchange rate because it has the possibility to go back up internally if everything goes well - if they collect enough of the 3 zero notes. There's a set number they're looking for. They're trying to collect the 3 zeros in their country because they know you and I as speculators we'll turn ours in...they did send dinars to banks all around the world, they were all electronic/digital. Brilliant...
Walkingstick [via Guru Frank26] Phase three: They (the Fab 4/CBI) will keep a very tight band, a super tight band on this international float. Because they don't want it to move anymore than plus or minus 3%. Then it will reach a cap...supply and demand will put the dinar on a different international level.
