Walkingstick [via Frank26] ...the AMF [Arab Monetary Fund] is a tool that can and will distribute the Iraqi dinar all over the 22 Middle Eastern countries...the AMF is allowing Iraq to render them mutually convertible. To be convertible means to be able to use the Iraqi dinar internationally to buy, to trade, to sell with no restrictions...when you see these things you have to understand what's about to be said about their exchange rate and currency...it's very easy to see IQD via the AMF is about to go Article 8 international. No restrictions to be used internationally...that is the powerful sound that is coming out of our investment right now...
