Will The Dinar Come Out 1 To 1?
.Will The Dinar Come Out 1 To 1?
# 10 By Muhammad Ali
Will The Dinar Come Out At 1 To 1? I think not! And here's why...
The question on everyone's mind is will the dinar come out at 1 to 1?
Based on my opinion and the following evidences, i think not!
Let's talk about what a 1 to 1 in country rate really means.
There is a misunderstanding about what this means, even among the Intel.
At first sight, you will think it is 1 Dinar = $ 1 USD.
Firstly, if you think logically, an in country rate makes no sense at all. How do you have an in country rate? There is no such thing.
So this is the first thing I need to clarify.

Will The Dinar Come Out At 1 To 1? I think not! And here's why...
The question on everyone's mind is will the dinar come out at 1 to 1?

Let's talk about what a 1 to 1 in country rate really means.
There is a misunderstanding about what this means, even among the Intel.
At first sight, you will think it is 1 Dinar = $ 1 USD.
Firstly, if you think logically, an in country rate makes no sense at all. How do you have an in country rate? There is no such thing.
So this is the first thing I need to clarify.
I'll use the Malaysia Ringgit as my example. Mainly because, I live in Malaysia, but what I am about to explain pertains to everyone regardless of what country they are in.
If I walk into the bank with an RM50 note and ask the bank teller to change it for me.
The teller will give me, 2 x 20 + 1 x 10 =RM50 or another possibility,
5 x 10 = RM50 or
1 x 20 + 3 x 10 =RM50
There are all kinds of combinations that the bank teller can give me. But the key point I want you to realize here is the teller will only give me up to RM50...that is the meaning of 1 to 1.
I gave the teller RM50; the teller must give me back the equivalent to RM50. This is 1 to 1.
If I gave the teller an RM50 note and they gave me RM100 back, then that is not 1 to 1. More like 1 to 2.
If I bought a drink for RM5 and gave the cashier an RM20 note, they will give me back RM15 in change. This is 1 to 1.
So the 1 to 1 just means...1 dinar = 1 dinar.
Secondly, if we look at the bigger picture, we must remember that there are 2 processes taking place. What will happen in the country of Iraq and what will happen outside of Iraq?
For the Iraqi citizen, they will take their 25,000 dinar note to the bank and the bank will change it to 25 Dinar note. This will be 1 to 1. However, the new 25 Dinar note will be at an increased purchased power.
Once their RI (re-instatement) happens, all the prices of goods and services will be re-adjusted. For example, if a loaf of bread cost now at 1000 Dinars then after the RI it will be 1 Dinar.
If a car was 1,000,000 Dinars, then after the RI, it will be 1,000 Dinars.
In Malaysia, if you go to the store to buy a loaf of bread and the price tag says RM3.00; would you take out your calculator and start calculating the rate of exchange??? Of course you would not.
You take the bread to the cashier and give them an RM 5 note and they give you back RM2 in change. There is no rate of exchange and no calculating. That is 1 to 1.
So for the local Malaysian citizen, he will never phantom the concept of an exchange rate, his whole life will be around the Malaysian Ringgit and the Ringgit only.
So this goes for the local Iraqi citizens.
So please use your own country as an example to understand what I am saying.
Now, outside of Iraq, the 25,000 Dinar note will remain as 25,000. No zeros will be deleted.
So this brings us to the question of will Iraq LOP (Loss of Profit) the Dinar?
In the past, countries who suffered from hyper-inflation did cut zeros from their notes.
Iran and Iraq have inflation but they are not suffering from hyper-inflation. This is why they can still retain the full value of their notes.
The highest denomination in Iraq is a 50,000 Dinar note and in Iran is the 100,000 Rial note.
Turkey, for example, in 2005 cut zeros from their notes. They did a LOP, because they had hyper-inflation. Turkey had up to 10,000,000 million Lira denomination bank notes.
And once again, Iran and Iraq does not have hyper-inflation. These are two of the world’s wealthiest countries.
To understand why there must be two processes an in-country process and an out-country process, let’s look at it from a different perspective.
Remember, outside of Iraq 5% of the world is holding Iraqi dinars... 95% of the world is not... That means 5% will become millionaires.
However, inside Iraq, 100% of the citizens are holding Iraqi dinars. If 100% of the citizens become millionaires the entire country will stop working. It would basically shut down to a halt.
Who wants to work when you're a millionaire???
So Iraq must have a different process for their citizens.
Remember also, that the Central Bank of Iraq is speaking to its citizens. They are educating their citizens. The CBI does not care about you or me; they are not talking to us. They will not tell you there are two processes. That will only just confuse the citizens.
This is why dinar land is confused. Because they do not realize the fact that the CBI is not talking to you (us) but to their citizens. The CBI is only telling the process that is of concern to their citizens.
So remember this when you read news from the CBI or from Intel. The CBI is not talking to you (us).
Now, another reason why I believe this concept of a 1 Dinar = $1 USD rate is wrong, the CBI is about to re-instate the Dinar.
Think about what that means? Re-instate.
If we look up the meaning of the word re-instate in the dictionary. It says: restore (someone or something) to their former position or state.
So let me give you some evidence to this fact.
Here is an article linked directly to the United Nations website.
http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/PRST/2014/20
The date of the Article is 19 September, 2014.
The relevant part is on the second page and the second last paragraph.
It states: …”and further recognizes the importance of Iraq achieving international standing equal to that which it held prior to the adoption of Resolution 661 (1990).”
United Nations has said officially stated that they recognize the importance of Iraq achieving international standings equal to that which it held prior to 1990.
And what was their rate before 1990?
It was 1 Dinar = $3.22USD or 1 Dinar = RM13.50, or 1 Dinar = $4.50 SGD or 1 Dinar = $4.30 Canadian or 1 Dinar = $4.50 Brunei Dollar...and so on.
There are 2 points that I am making here:
First, the dinar will be connected to every currency in the world.
Second, the United Nations has already said that it is important for Iraq to go back to their pre-1990 rate. So how can it be 1 Dinar to $1 USD?
It is the same thing, as if you were to take your Malaysian Ringgit to any money changer and you ask them to convert it to any currency in the world. The money changer will state the buy and sell rate. There is no base calculating rate. There is no in-country base rate in Malaysia.
The rates are based on a central bank in one country and a central bank in another country and what they agreed upon.
For example, the Central Bank of Iraq and Bank Negara Malaysia. Bank Negara Malaysia will instruct the Central Bank of Iraq that if anyone wants to change Iraqi dinars either buying or selling using Malaysia Ringgit this is what our rate will be.
Just understand that the central banks work together to give their rates.
So when you exchange your currency it will be between RM and IQD or if you are in Singapore, SGD and IQD or if you are in Canada, CDN and IQD or if you are in the USA, USD and IQD, etc…etc.
The rates will be fixed by the central banks of each country. Neither by the United States of America nor their Treasury department will have any involvement in the rates.
Now let’s just take this a little further and talk about the $3.22 USD to 1 Dinar rate. The pre-1990 rate.
Many years back, it was stated that the IMF would add 20-30% for Inflation to the Re-Instated rate, from the 20+ years of U.N. sanctions on Iraq.
So this would bring the rate between $3.86 USD to $4.19 USD. So this is what I believe will be the range of the RI rate for the Iraqi Dinar.
Once Iraq completes their RI, the Dinar is already international and we may begin our exchanges.
Once the Dinar is on the international open market, the rate will be pushed up and this is what I refer to as the RV stage.
Some say RD/RV/RI and some say RD/RI/RV, it doesn’t matter and it is not really relevant to debate this issue as it depends upon ones understanding and interpretation of the entire process.
Once Iraq RI’s or RV’s the Dinar, the important thing is… we are done!
So I hope my article helps you to understand the 1 to 1 from my logical perspective.

10 Lessons from Benjamin Franklin's Daily Schedule that will Double Your Productivity
.TNT: LounDebnc: 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity
Benjamin Franklin is best remembered as one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, but he achieved much more in his lifetime.
During Franklin’s 84 years alive, he invented the lightning rod, made significant discoveries in physics and population studies, wrote best-selling books, composed music and played the violin, harp and guitar at a high level, founded many civic organizations, including the University of Pennsylvania, and much more.
How did Franklin achieve so much more than his contemporaries, given he had the same 24 hours each day to get things done? The answer to this question lies in Franklin’s daily schedule.

10 lessons from Benjamin Franklin’s daily schedule that will double your productivity
Benjamin Franklin is best remembered as one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, but he achieved much more in his lifetime.
During Franklin’s 84 years alive, he invented the lightning rod, made significant discoveries in physics and population studies, wrote best-selling books, composed music and played the violin, harp and guitar at a high level, founded many civic organizations, including the University of Pennsylvania, and much more.
How did Franklin achieve so much more than his contemporaries, given he had the same 24 hours each day to get things done? The answer to this question lies in Franklin’s daily schedule.
Here’s how it works, including 10 lessons that will double your productivity this week.
Create a list of values to live by
Before putting pen to paper on his daily schedule, Franklin created a list of virtues to live by.
He referred to these as his 13 virtues: a list of values designed to help guide his daily schedule.
Here’s the list of Benjamin Franklin’s 13 virtues:
1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness and drink not to elevation.
2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation.
3. Order: Let all your things have their places. Let each part of your business have its time.
4. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.
5. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e. Waste nothing.
6. Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. Think innocently and justly; and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. Justice: Wrong none, by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. Moderation: Avoid extremes. Forebear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes or habitation.
11. Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; Never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.
12. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
13. Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
Even though this saves time upfront, it wastes valuable time, willpower and energy, that could’ve been spent working on important tasks straight away.
To avoid this problem, Franklin made sure to clean up his work space and put things back in order before leaving the office each day.
This ensured that Franklin had enough willpower each morning, to tackle the tedious tasks in the long day ahead.

"The Death of a Sick System" by Rinus Verhagen
The Death of the Sick System
By Rinus Verhagen, Contributor
The downfall of the fascist unelected corrupt EU along with corrupt NWO governments.
Many EU countries are expanding their GOLD stock for the upcoming introduction of the GOLD STANDARD.
Why do I expect that the own currency will be reintroduced for each EU country?
The curse known as the Euro has collectively impoverished us and has reduced our prosperity, so we can say from experience that it has proved to be a financial cancerous tumour.
The EU gangsters working on behalf of the Central Bankers and Multinationals (Comité 300) cannot stop or stop the change, due to the collapse of the Fiat Money System.

The downfall of the fascist unelected corrupt EU along with corrupt NWO governments.
Many EU countries are expanding their GOLD stock for the upcoming introduction of the GOLD STANDARD.
Why do I expect that the own currency will be reintroduced for each EU country?
The curse known as the Euro has collectively impoverished us and has reduced our prosperity, so we can say from experience that it has proved to be a financial cancerous tumour.
The EU gangsters working on behalf of the Central Bankers and Multinationals (Comité 300) cannot stop or stop the change, due to the collapse of the Fiat Money System.
Several countries are preparing their populations to re-introduce the GOLD STANDARD.
Banks can no longer produce FIAT money through the introduction of the new money system via the QFS that has already replaced the old Swift system for the CIPS payment protocol.
The new GOLD covered money system is available for 209 sovereign countries, as the EU is not a sovereign country the no money will get from the new world funds.
Any organisation that has no money (EU and UN) or source of income will no longer be able to exist, which will result in a natural purification of unelected fascists.
The Brexit initiative has awakened the people of Europe to the hope of getting rid of the communist EU.
The Bilderberg Nazis could not have foreseen that they would perish because of their own corruption and money policy.
The euro could be saved if all the member countries were to merge their own GOLD in order to give the euro a GOLD.
Whereupon I suspect that the individual countries do not go so far with their loyalty to uphold the EURO curse.
If a Bank is worthless, and their Derivatives debts are greater than the value of this Bank, this Bank is simply bankrupt, and the Derivatives debts will never be and never will be paid.
This is also the reason why Banks no longer lend to each other and the ECB and FED have buyout programs to keep their sick system alive for a while.
Underlying the idea that the world's population should bear the cost of their FIAT debt deception.
https://www.nexusnewsfeed.com/article/geopolitics/claim-germany-s-deutsche-bank-has-reportedly-filed-bankruptcy/?fbclid=IwAR1hqxazs3v3m_dJFTTD8j8bkdPeCKDqtv6ZRcqAdWz-PONPhG0gSL_coPM#.XcFESIyeRgs.facebook
Claim: German Deutsche Bank has allegedly filed for bankruptcy.
There will be RUMORS from Germany this afternoon that Deutsche Bank has filed for bankruptcy ONLY.
For the time being, this will NOT be confirmed.
If this did happen, prepare for an economic upheaval like no other in the world.
A company or institution that is bankrupt or has applied for a moratorium will be executed after the Bankruptcy has been declared and will no longer be negotiable on the stock exchange.
By buying the shares of the Deutsche Bank through REPO programs, the illusion is created that the Deutsche Bank can survive this adventure, and that Merkel can continue its demolition policy for a while.
The more uncovered Fiat Money that is pumped into the system does not reach the people who need it, but only the banks to postpone the inevitable implosion of the debt and money system for a while.
We can expect the entire global banking system to turn into a nuclear reaction when the magic limit is reached, because all banks are contaminated with irrecoverable Derivatives and government bonds.
As a result, politicians employed by the Bankers will no longer be able to take on public debts at the expense of their own people.
Tax collection is a form of theft to keep the population in poverty and under control.
There is a worldwide yellow law that obliges the population to pay taxes as a result of the deception by the Bankers of the FED and ECB and Central Banks with their Fiat Money system.
We can call it false structured emotional blackmail with their attempt to persuade us to pay taxes.
If they refuse to pay tax, the governments will no longer be able to pursue their decomposition policy in the way it has been in the past.
All over the world, companies are a branch of their illegal tax office that the rulers have invented in order to be able to continue to expropriate the population, and to control their existence.
Instead of Demonstrating, it would be much more effective if we stopped paying imposed taxes, out of the labour of the individual population.
Earning is an understanding for rewarding your effort, if you want to earn by stealing we can't say that these are fair merits.
A tweet by Jesse Klaver, originally named Yasser Ferras, and leader of the Green Left political party.
Yasser has a low IQ so that his mathematical performance does not entirely match his perception and pronunciation, and he emerges as an Environmental Tax Terrorist comes up with the following proposition.
If we do not increase VAT by 3% but by 5% from 21% to 25%, we will earn 18 Billion, of which 15 Billion will go to clean energy.
Now for the calculation: 6 Billion Windmills (unprofitable Bird and insect shredders).
2 Billion for raising Teacher's salary to maintain left-wing indoctrination.
4 Billion for subsidy the people with the lowest income = total 12 Billion, remains us the question where the rest of the 18 Billion remained in his calculation model.
Wind energy is unprofitable, because there is not always wind, and because of this other power plant have to take over the production.
What we do need are the political friends who have an interest in producing these wind turbines.
He has clearly suffered a blow from a blade of the windmill given his Low IQ statements.
The population sees him as a Green Environmental Clown and not a math wonder.
Windmills don't run on wind but on subsidies, Green Acorn.
Jesse Klaver (Yasser Ferras), who was born a Moroccan with a late IQ, wants the Netherlands to solve the Greta CO2 problem only for the world.
This means that the Dutch population (further expropriated) on top of the existing taxes of now 89% total, will have to pay 1000 billion over the next 10 years.
This would mean that we would have a Negative Gross National Product, where there would be no more income from labor for the population.
https://www.elsevierweekblad.nl/nederland/achtergrond/2016/09/jesse-klaver-mikpunt-van-spot-ik-lijk-best-op-obama-367128/
Jesse Klaver sees Obama as his example, Yes we can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcMCUppgH9Y
His corruptness will not be much less than that of Obama, and his False propaganda, By copying the Obama speech.
By depriving governments of unlimited loans to the corrupt Bankers, by introducing the GOLD-covered new Money System via the QFS, the political criminals have also been eliminated.
This will restore self-determination to the population.
Police, army and civil servants will no longer receive any income from a corrupt government, which means that they are no longer allowed to protect the current false political prophets in order to maintain their crime policy.
Farmers, Construction and Earthmoving companies, realize the power you have together with the people to bleed the corrupt political dead financially.
The Netherlands is not equipped to enforce so many tax collection cases, the new system will be in place before this becomes a reality.
We no longer allow ourselves to be used as slaves to the Bankers and corrupt governments.
On the tax contributions of left-wing morons and Antifa, a sick policy can't survive.
In lawless politics, a committee secretly makes secret agreements behind closed doors to keep oppressing the Dutch.
The population is expected to compensate the income of the EU by Brexit in order to be able to push the NWO through in Europe.
These are turbulent times in which we are now living, in which we are going to stand up and say that we are no longer taking part in this.
We must be completely non-violent in raising our fingers and noses at the criminals in politics.
This is the result of a further loss of confidence in this sick system, to which many people are now beginning to turn a blind eye because of the silent and insidious oppression to which we have been subjected.

How Much Currency Is Enough?
.How Much Currency Is Enough?
#4 By Muhammad Ali
I met with a husband and wife and they had bought 10 notes of Iraqi Dinar.
The wife asked me, "Mr. Ali, is this enough? "
So I replied, "What do you mean by enough? Enough for what?"
She said, "For our future."
My reply was this. There are 3 groups of people in this investment.

I met with a husband and wife and they had bought 10 notes of Iraqi Dinar.
The wife asked me, "Mr. Ali, is this enough? "
So I replied, "What do you mean by enough? Enough for what?"
She said, "For our future."
My reply was this. There are 3 groups of people in this investment.
1. Those who buy a few notes of currency, enough that will be able to settle their debts, but they will still need to work after the RV.
2. Those who buy more currency, enough to settle all of their debts and have enough to retire for their lifetime so they won't need to go back to work.
3. Those who buy a lot of currency, enough to settle all of their debts and retire and be able to plan for their next generations.
So I said, "You need to think carefully and decide which group number you want to be."
With rising costs in Malaysia, new terrace homes range from RM400k-600k and semi-d houses are selling for RM1 million.
I was in Putrajaya and saw some bungalows next to the water selling for RM3 million.
Even in Singapore, housing prices are skyrocketing and now they cannot even buy HDB flats anymore using their CPF retirement funds.
So the questions you need to ask are, after the RV, what do I plan do?
Stay in my present house?
Buy a new house?
Do I want to continue working?
Do I want full lifetime retirement?
Do I want to help my future generation(s)?
So once you have answered these questions, check the amount of notes you have and do your calculations. I have already stated many, many times what the expected rates will be.
My Currency Exchange Planner is an awesome tool to help with your planning. Enter in your currency and the estimated rates and see your net worth instantly.
I have stated many, many times that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
However, for most or all of you, the first thing you will regret after the RV, is that you did not buy more but by that time, it will be too late.
Also, I advise all of you to check your currency. Make sure it has not been misplaced or lost.
I have had several people within my group misplace their currencies during a house move or just forgetfulness.
I hope my article has been of some interest to you.

Will Iraq Make A New Currency And Cancel The Old One?
.Will Iraq Make A New Currency And Cancel The Old One?
#3 By Muhammad Ali
OK this question seems to float around the groups.
But the answer is very logical and simple.
Firstly, we need to understand and realize that what we are holding are not just pieces of paper.
They are LEGAL TENDER. So what does that really mean?
They have International Monetary Laws behind it.
So who governs and monitors these laws?
The IMF and the BIS (Bank of International Settlements).
The Governors of the respected country's Banks are not employees of the country, but to the BIS. So they need to report directly to the BIS. You can say that the BIS is the Boss of all the central banks around the world.
Presidents and Prime Ministers of countries UNDER THE BIS system of banking...have absolutely NO CONTROL over the countries monetary policies.

Presidents and Prime Ministers of countries UNDER THE BIS system of banking...have absolutely NO CONTROL over the countries monetary policies.
There are only 3 countries left in the world that are not under the BIS Elite's banking system control. For those the countries the leaders dictate the banking system.
Iraq and Iran were among those countries previously NOT under the Elite's banking system control... HENCE ... The GULF WAR...hence the Sanctions and so called nuclear threats from Iran.
Now, both of these countries have given into the Elite's system, and since then, sanctions removed and etc.etc.
OK back to the original question. Will Iraq cancel the old money when they come out with a new one?
So just to clear this up again, a bank governor, nor PM, no president can dictate monetary policies. They cannot just cancel currencies.
Everything has procedures and steps to follow. There is a system to demonetize a country’s money.
You have to remember and by adding some simple logic you will remove all doubts from your mind.
I will give you an example.
You have worked the whole month and today is the 31st, you have received your wages of $3000.
You are very happy right! You can now pay your bills, house, car, hydro, telephone, water etc.
And tomorrow is the 1st of the new month you plan to take your family out for a celebration dinner at everyone's favourite restaurant.
Happy life right. Thank God!
So next day comes around and THERE IS A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT BY MONETARY AUTHORITY OF MALAYSIA.
ATTENTION CITIZENS OF MALAYSIA
STARTING TODAY WE HAVE INTRODUCED A NEW CURRENCY.
IT IS CALLED THE BLING RINGGIT
THE PREVIOUS CURRENCY CALLED THE MALAYSIA RINGGIT IS NO LONGER VALID! BURN IT, USE IT AS TOILET PAPER, WE DO NOT CARE BECAUSE WE CANCELLED IT!
END OF ANNOUNCEMENT
OK! Now the tears start rolling in.
So after hearing this announcement, the $3000 that you just received yesterday for working 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week is now worth ZERO! The Money in your bank account also worth ZERO. Any Mutual funds or stocks you own are all worth ZERO.
So, now you have absolutely ZERO money...absolutely NO SAVING because any money you did have (RM) is now cancelled.
So what about that celebration dinner? Well no money ... so that is cancelled too.
So after hearing this ANNOUNCEMENT from the Malaysia Central Bank, you decided to head off to work.
Only to find your work place has CLOSED UP. Because ALL of the money your employer had in the bank is now also worthless. So the Employer CLOSED DOWN.
So you go home, depressed.
Only to find, there is NO electricity. Why? Because you didn't pay your electric bill.
So you go to the kitchen to have a drink of water because you're thirsty. NO WATER!
WHY? Because you didn't pay your water bill.
So you decide to call the Electric Company and Water Company to complain but your telephone does not work too.
WHY? Because you didn't pay your telephone bill.
HOW TO PAY WHEN THE $3000 you received from your monthly salary is now cancelled and worthless?
Then you look out the window and see the REPO MAN taking your car.
AND FINANLLY the BANK shows up at your door telling you to EVICT IMMEDIATELY because you haven't paid your house payment.
Isn't this a very sad and scary story but hey WAIT it’s not over, the same thing has just happened to all of your neighbours.
NO WAIT! Everyone in your entire city!
CAN IT GET ANY MORE WORSE?
YES, the ENTIRE population of Malaysia (35 Million people) are NOW HOMELESS and living on the streets.
SO CAN YOU NOW SEE WHY IT IS CRAZY TO THINK THAT A CENTRAL BANK CAN JUST CANCEL A COUNTRY'S MONEY? A DECISION LIKE THAT WILL AFFECT EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
We are also talking about the lives of 30 million people inside Iraq.
THINK ABOUT IT.
So please think carefully about the little story above.
Can any Country simply make a NEW CURRENCY and CANCEL THE OLD ONE?
YES THEY CAN BUT!
THEY MUST ADHERE TO POLICIES SET BY THE IMF AND BIS (BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS)
MEANING THAT, THEY MUST ALLOW THE CITIZENS OF THAT COUNTRY TO "TRADE-IN" and "EXCHANGE" THE OLD CURRENCY FOR THE NEW ONE.
AND!
THEY MUST GIVE AN ADEQUATE TIME FRAME. 1 DAY OR 1 MONTH IS NOT ENOUGH TIME.
As for Iraq we know that the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq has stated that the new money and the old money will trade together for a period of 10 years.
So you do not need to be in any rush to exchange after the RV.
OK A LONG ANSWER, BUT I HOPE IT'S CLEAR.
I hope my article has been of some interest to you.

The Secret Symbols on the Back of the Dollar
.US Dollar Symbols and Denominations
The Secret Symbols on the Back of the Dollar
By Kimberly Amadeo Updated August 19, 2019
The U.S. dollar is the most powerful currency in the world. It's backed by the world's third-largest economy, the United States of America. The strength of the U.S. economy supports the dollar's use as a global currency. The U.S. dollar was first designated the world's currency in the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement.
The term U.S. dollar refers to a specific denomination and to the U.S. currency in general. It was initially traded as a coin worth its weight in silver or gold. Then it was exchanged as a paper note redeemable in gold. In the 1970s, the gold standard was dropped and the dollar's value was allowed to float. Today, although its value fluctuates, it's in strong demand.

The Secret Symbols on the Back of the Dollar
US Dollar Symbols and Denominations
By Kimberly Amadeo Updated August 19, 2019
The U.S. dollar is the most powerful currency in the world. It's backed by the world's third-largest economy, the United States of America. The strength of the U.S. economy supports the dollar's use as a global currency. The U.S. dollar was first designated the world's currency in the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement.

Although the dollar is still represented by currency, its true value is represented by credit. Now more than ever, the U.S. dollar is the real symbol of faith in the power of the U.S. economy.
U.S. Dollar Symbols
The $ symbol itself is derived from a combination of the P and S for Mexican pesos, Spanish piasters, or pieces of eight. This theory is based on the study of old manuscripts. They show that the $ symbol was widely used before the United States started using the dollar in 1785.
There has been a great deal of controversy surrounding the enigmatic symbols on the U.S. dollar. In fact, the Founding Fathers used the symbols to convey strong messages. They have gotten garbled through the years.
The dollar bill shows the Great Shield of the United States, which contains:
The American eagle flying free, holding 13 arrows of war in its non-dominant left talon and an olive branch for peace in its dominant right talon.
The banner in its beak reads "E Pluribus Unum" meaning “Out of Many, One.”
The shield's horizontal blue band represents Congress uniting the original 13 colonies. These are represented by 13 red and white vertical stripes.
Thirteen stars above the eagle represent a new nation or a constellation in the universe.
Red stands for valor, white stands for purity, and blue stands for justice.
On the reverse of the Great Seal stands an unfinished pyramid of 13 rows, symbolizing strength and duration. The first row reads "1776" in Roman numerals. The banner below reads "Novus Ordo Seclorum" which means "A New Order of the Ages." This refers to a new form of government or "the beginning of the new American Era."
The all-seeing eye of the Divine is bordered by the phrase "Annuit Coeptis." This means "Providence Has Favored Our Undertakings." (Source: “Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia,” Symbols on American Money.)
Dollar Denominations
There are 18 denominations in U.S. coins and bills.

This article I wrote back in 2015, some of the links may still be working and some may not be, but with some further digging you will still be able to track down the original articles.
However, if you follow the logic flow, everything should be crystal clear.
In this article, I will show you something very special about this investment. Some say this investment is speculative, however, I say it is guaranteed.
Let me explain more.
Have you ever written a test but before the test you had all of the answers.
Were you very confident when you answered the questions? Yes of course you were.
Were you confident of the outcome? Yes of course you were...
If you know all of the answers of a test before the test that means you are guaranteed an 'A+' right?
Well this is what we also know about this investment. We know the answers and we know the outcome.
So in this post i will prove to you that this investment is 100% WIN and ZERO RISK.
I will focus on Iraq, but our confidence extends to Iran and Zimbabwe as well as Viet Nam and Indonesia (if you are invested with those)
So let's begin:
People wonder if this investment is really a scam or if it can happen or not. Why do they think this way? Simply because they did not do their homework and study for their test.
I will clarify many things in this post as well. So please pay close attention.
Let's talk about lower denominations.
Iraq, Iran, Zimbabwe etc... Cannot change the value of their current currency.
They must, "MUST!" introduce a NEW currency.
Only with this new currency can they change the value/rate.
Some people believe that when Iraq comes out with a new currency, the old currency (what we hold now) will be cancelled and the banks will not accept... RUBBUSH!!!!
After 1944 with the inception of the IMF and World Bank...no country can produce a new currency and just cancel the old currency.
Remember, what we hold is not just a piece of paper, this is legal tender and there are international monetary laws behind this money.
If a country introduces new currency (money), then that country must, Must! Give the citizens of the country an adequate time frame to exchange the old for the new. This time frame must, Must! Be stated at the time of the introduction of the new currency.
This is according to the procedures of the IMF and the BIS.
So do not worry about when Iran, or Iraq or Zimbabwe produces their new currency. We are expecting this and we want them to introduce new money.
The citizens of those countries will exchange their old money for the new money but we will not. We will exchange our old money back to RM or SGD or your local currency for those in other countries.
So again do not worry about this.
So what are the lower denominations? Denominations are just the type of notes available. For example:
RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20, RM50, RM100 are the denominations here in Malaysia.
When we say 'lower' denominations, it just means lower numbers compared to the higher numbers like 100,000, 500,000 etc.
Ok let's move on.
So in any investment, we can either make money or we can lose money, this is logical thinking, right?
Same should go with Iraqi dinars, we can either make money or we can lose money, right?
Ok let me explain some more.
Iraq's current denominations are:
Notes: 50, 250, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 25000, 50000 (some will remember that the 50 note was demonetized (discontinued)
Here is a picture of the paper money notes: https://williamsbell.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/new-iraqi-dinar.jpg
Coins: 25, 50, 100 (what is important to note. Is these coins were minted in 2003 and were recalled in 2004 because the local people would melt the coins and sell the scrap metal for more value than the coin itself. So in 2004, the Central Bank of Iraq stopped issuing coins. (Please remember this because i will come back to this later - this is a very important point)
Here is a picture of the coins: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1RcOMKgTqK1RjSZPhq6xfOFXag/Iraq-Set-3-Coins-25-50-100-Dinars-coins-UNC-Real-Original-Genuine-coin-Asia-Country.jpg_640x640q70.jpg
Ok so as I said, Iraq cannot change the value of the current money, they must, Must! Come out with new money at a higher value in order to change the value.
So there are two options for this:
Option 1: Iraq comes out with lower denominations like:
1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200
Or
Option 2: Iraq comes out with higher denominations like:
100,000 200,000 500,000 1,000,000 notes
So these are the 'ONLY' two possibilities.
So now let's understand the difference between each of them.
If Iraq does option 1, it means they have increased the value of the dinar and we become millionaires.
If Iraq does option 2, it means they have decreased the value of the dinar and we lose our money.
So the question is, which option will they choose???
Now from the beginning of this post, i told you we already know the answer to this question.
So we know the answers to the test before the test!
Since 2012 the new denominations that Iraq wants to change to, has already been printed.
Yes that's right! The new notes are ready and waiting.
From my brother's contacts in IMF, they informed us that the new notes were in fact printed in 2012 by the Thomas de la rue company in Texas, USA and shipped to Iraq. The notes were actually being stored in Jordan, but we know the notes were sent back to Iraq and were being distributed to the local banks in Iraq.
So the new notes are sitting and waiting inside the banks in Iraq.
So now, back to the question, which option will they choose?
Option 1 The new notes are 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200.
So if you truly understand what I said, it means that we already know the outcome of this investment. We already know what currency Iraq will introduce, so we already know that this investment is 100% WIN and ZERO RISK.
Now do I have proof of this information? I sure do. Let's look at some proof now.
Proof #1
This website has leaked information about the new notes and what pictures is displaced on each note.
Iraq Discloses Designs For Redenominated Banknotes Slated For July 2013:
Http://www.banknotenews.com/files/e6aeb4a9a73b43af93fb33b73f0c705d-2193.php
Proof #2
Now do you remember option number 2??? If Iraq brings out higher numbers?
Can you imagine Iraq producing a 500,000 dinar coin? Or a 1,000,000 dinar coin?
They cannot right? If they produce a 1,000,000 dinar coin, the citizens again will melt the coins down and sell the metal as scrap.
So here is an article from the Iraqi Central Bank stating "for the issuance of metal coins".
(Link & Info From IQD Team but article not found with use of link)

Look here the central bank says it again: to issue coins...

This announcement is very important because it clearly tells us that Iraq will issue metal coins again but with lower numbers. It would not make any, Any! Logical sense for the Central Bank of Iraq to devalue their money... Introduce higher denomination notes and at the same time introduce coins back into circulation when they removed them in 2004 because people would metal the coins as scrap.
So for the central bank to announce to the world we are issuing coins again tells you something!!!
They will raise the value of the currency.
Proof #3
Ok the next article is from the Central Bank of Iraq and it is telling you something very important.
“.... This will enhance the value and easy to transport, "
Ok let's think about this for a minute. 'Enhance the value' --- not reduced the value.
'Easy to transport'. The new currency will be easy to transport.
Is this what you would call easy to transport?
Https://samhsublog.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/pd3124971.jpg
No i don't think so.
It means the new currency will have low note values and easy to carry around in your pocket.
Proof #4
Iraq is the world's fastest growing emerging market economy.
Proof #5
Iraq is the richest country in the world. Not just in oil but in minerals.

https://www.meed.com/?s=Iraq+now+fastest+growing+projects+market+after+Saudi+Arabia+and+UAE
Can you possibly imagine Iraq choosing option number 2: and make higher denominations notes??? No way!!!
It would mean the value would change from 0.00080 USD per Dinar (now) to 0.00000080 USD per Dinar (after devalue).
It is highly improbable for them to do so... It's like being a trillionaire and living in a house the size of a toilet... There is no logic for Iraq to devalue their currency !!!! None !!!
So feel confident in this investment. We already know the answers to the questions and very important we already know the outcome of this investment.
Just wait for it....
Don't sell your currency because some quack tells you this is a scam...or is sceptical about this investment...
Buy more currency... You will never get this opportunity again... Ever! ... Well ok maybe in 100 years.

U.S.A. Forgives Iraq Debt To Clear Way for IMF Reforms
By Brian Dominick Dec. 19, 2004
While Washington pats itself on the back for forgiving Iraqi debt owed since the 1980s, critics say the relief comes with dangerous strings attached and argue that the debt should have been null and void.
SO THE QUESTION IS……….
WHY DID AMERICA, CHINA, RUSSIA, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, FRANCE, ENGLAND AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AROUND THE WORLD FORGIVE IRAQ OF ITS DEBTS???????
ASK YOUR SELF THIS VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION.
IS IT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO PUT ON A KIND PITY FACE TO THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT? I DOUBT THAT.
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE…. BECAUSE THEY ALL HOLD IRAQI DINARS TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DEBT RELEASE.
MEANING THAT, THESE COUNTRIES DID NOT SIMPLE ERASE THE DEBT FROM IRAQ, THEY WERE GIVEN IRAQI DINARS IN COMPENSATION FOR THEIR DEBTS.
SO THEN THE NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE....WHY WOULD ALL THESE COUNTRIES AND OTHERS, CANCEL THEIR DEBTS WITH IRAQ IN EXCHANGE FOR A WORTHLESS PIECE OF PAPER?
LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE, IRAQ WAS TO REMOVE 3 ZEROS FROM THEIR NOTES...SO A 25,000 NOTE BECOMES 25.
WOULD THESE COUNTRIES STILL WANT TO TAKE AND HOLD THIS CURRENCY IN REPLACEMENT OF THE DEBT?
I DOUBT THEY WILL WANT TO DO THAT.
I AM 1,000,000% SURE THEY WILL NOT DO THAT... MORE SO, ESPECIALLY IF A 25,000 NOTE WILL BECOME 25.
DO YOU SEE MY POINT?
About 16 or so countries including China and the US hold IQD in their foreign reserves…
The Paris Club (which includes Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, USA, England) forgave $32 billion, China wrote off $6.8 Billion, United Arab Emirates $7 Billion; Kuwait took IQD to the tune of $21 Billion..
So that means, these countries have to be holding IQD…so here are the estimates of IQD held:
US: 4.8 Trillion
Other Paris Club 18: 32 Trillion
United Arab E: 8.1 Trillion
China: 7.9 Trillion
Kuwait : 24 Trillion
That means 76.8 Trillion is in these 22 countries reserves alone,
SO WE ARE CONFIDENT IRAQ WILL NOT DROP 3 ZEROS FROM THEIR NOTES...A 25,000 NOTE WILL REMAIN AS 25,000.
KNOWING THAT COUNTRIES ARE HOLDING IQD, IT GIVES US MORE CONFIDENCE IN THIS INVESTMENT.

Natural Resources
Oil was discovered in Iraq in 1927. Iraq has the world’s fifth largest petroleum reserves and it is also its most valuable mineral. Oil contributes the largest portion of GDP and constitutes most of Iraq’s foreign exchange. It has traditionally provided about 95% of foreign exchange earnings.
Moreover, Iraq is thought to have untapped resources and minerals, such as salt, gypsum, and stone, in addition to large sulfur reserves. Iraq has multiple other industries such as chemicals, textiles, leather and metal processing.

All banks and insurance companies were nationalized in 1964. The Central Bank of Iraq (founded in 1947 and one of the first central banks in the Arab world) has the sole right to issue the Dinar, the national currency.
The Rafidain Bank (1941) is the oldest commercial bank. In 1988, the state founded a second commercial bank, the Rasheed Bank. There are also three state-owned specialized banks: the Agricultural Co-operative Bank (1936), the Industrial Bank (1940), and the Real Estate Bank (1949).
Beginning in 1991 the government authorized private banks to operate, albeit under the strict supervision of the Central Bank. The Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in 1992. In 2003, the Iraqi government removed restrictions on international bank transactions.

About Iraq Geography Baghdad
.About Iraq Geography Baghdad
Embassy of The Republic of Iraq
Iraq, situated in what was ancient Mesopotamia, occupies the eastern wing of the Fertile Crescent, the relatively fertile area of land in the otherwise arid region of the Middle East and North Africa.
Iraq is bordered to the north by Turkey, to the east by Iran, to the west by Syria and Jordan, and to the south by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It is one of the easternmost countries in the Arab world. The country sits at the same latitude as the southern United States.
Iraq can be divided into four geographical regions: the Tigris-Euphrates alluvial plains in central and southeastern Iraq; Al-Jazeerah, an upland region in the north between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; deserts in the west and south, covering about two-fifths of the country; and highlands in the north and northeast.
The Tigris-Euphrates river system drains into Iraq, fed by melting winter snow in Turkey that gives Iraq viable soil to support agriculture, a major component of the economy.

The Tigris-Euphrates river system drains into Iraq, fed by melting winter snow in Turkey that gives Iraq viable soil to support agriculture, a major component of the economy.
Urban and Rural Settlement
Over three quarters of the Iraqi population lives in urban environments, mostly in Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, and Erbil. Baghdad, a major metropolis, and the capital, is the political, economic, and communications hub of Iraq. Close to one third of the total population of Iraq lives in Baghdad.
Historically, Baghdad sits in the same area as Babylon. The city of Mosul, second only to Baghdad in its size, sits on the Tigris near the ruins of the ancient Assyrian capital of Nineveh and has recently experienced rapid growth.
Towns, hamlets and villages comprise the remainder of the population. These are situated throughout Iraq, but mostly in the lowlands and valleys around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Most of these populations depend on agriculture for their survival.
Facts about Iraq’s Geography
Fifth largest proven reserves of petroleum in the world.
Substantial reserves of natural gas.
The mountains, hills and plains of north and northeastern Iraq occupy about 35,500 square miles (92,000 square kilometers), about one-fifth of the country.
Dams form an important role in controlling flooding and permitting irrigation, and Iraq has many giant irrigation projects.
Area: 437,072 square kilometers; about the size of California.
Cities: Capital–Baghdad (7.2 million, 2006 estimate). Other cities–Basra, Mosul, Najaf, Karbala, Erbil, and Kirkuk.
Terrain: Alluvial plains, mountains and desert.
Climate: Mostly hot and dry.
Climate and Soil
Iraqi Kurdistan Region
Iraq’s average temperature is 70 °F (21°C), and the average monthly rainfall is less than an inch (16 mm), depending on the season. There are two seasons, summer and winter, with only short transitional periods between the two. Summer lasts from May to October and is characterized by cloudless skies, hot temperatures, low humidity and no precipitation from June through September.
Temperatures in Baghdad average 95 °F (35 °C), but have been recorded up to 123 °F (51 °C) during summers. During the winter, which lasts from December to February, temperatures are mild with bouts of hot and cold ranging between 35 and 60 °F (2 to 15 °C). Rainfall averages just over an inch per month (29 mm) between November and April.
Iraq has two climatic provinces: the hot, arid lowlands, including the alluvial plains and the deserts, and the damper northeast, where the higher elevation produces cooler temperatures.
The lowlands are covered by heavy alluvial soils with a high proportion of clay that is suitable for cultivation and building materials. In the northeast, summer is shorter while the winter lasts longer. The greater winter rainfall sustains good seasonal pastures.
Common to all of Iraq is the steady northerly and northwesterly wind, which brings extremely dry air and a cloudless sky. Additionally, a southern and southeast wind brings dust storms throughout the year, but most frequently in the summer.
Plant and Animal Life
Sheep herding in Iraq
Vegetation in Iraq is characterized by drought. Iraq’s arid climate and harsh terrain are not conducive to wildlife. The most common animals are birds, such as ducks, partridges, snipes and herons, and small mammals like badgers, otters, and muskrats. Gazelle also exist in the country’s remote deserts.
Other wild animals include camels, pigs, jackals, foxes and rabbits. Various species of water buffalo are bred in the marshlands. Desert locusts, which are common across the Middle East, also live in Iraq.
Few forests exist, with the exception of small oak forests in the north and northeast. Alpine plants grow in the cool, dry climate of the mountains. Shrubs and herbs grow in the more arid regions, and grasses and lush plants thrive along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Two of the most common lush plants are licorice and the date palm. By some estimates, Iraq has more than 22 million date trees. Other major crops include barley, wheat, watermelons, tomatoes, grapes, cucumbers, and oranges.
