Here's an older article September 6, 2012 "Delete the zeros must be at the beginning of a fiscal year" They can only delete their zeros (that means change the rate) at the beginning of a new fiscal budget period...here's why...this is a different article from August 12, 2012 "Saleh drew the interest of the Exchange must be with the new fiscal year, the Iraq government's accounts cannot be registered in the same year, two forms of financial values" They cannot have 2 different exchange rates during the same fiscal year ...Iraq's fiscal year before they went under the Chapter 7 sanctions...so prior to 1990...was April through March...
