RE: Deltas Post Sunday Night
Salamon69: I see.... They are talking about applying for a tourist Visa to Iraq.... Come on everyone cause we are ready for business and tourism like any other INTERNATIONAL country!
So to enter the country you can go in with no higher than 25 dinar notes when you exchange USD for dinars. Just like any other country you would want to go on a vacation you have to exchange into their currency...
And when you leave the country to go back home you can leave the country with no greater than 5 dinar notes. That could be for example 200 dinars total but it has to be broken down into 5 dinar notes to add up to 200
HUGE HIGE HUGE
Change is a coming!
....

JJimmyjj: There is one burning question about Delta's info:
Why would the CBI/GOI want to ban the flow of dinar out of Iraq ( which, in effect, is what they just did)?
IMO, it is to keep the large notes inside Iraq once they change the rate. They don't want citizens going outside the country and exchanging at a 3-4:1 rate, then bringing it back into Iraq and exchanging again at a 1:1 rate in - country.
In other words, the CBI just moved their queen and the endgame was just revealed to everyone watching the chess board.
Chappy86: IMO it could keep Iran from prospering off of the rv.
GEM: Good morning KTFA maybe this will help with Delta's post if People will only be able to import 25 dinars (bring in) and export 5 dinars ( take out) in my opinion they (Iraq) has deleted the 3 zeroes since from past articles it import no more than 25,000 dinars and export no more than 5,000 dinars! Frank, this is huge, very huge!!!!!!!!! Thank you Delta
S.Josh: It sure would be tricky to import less than 25 Dinars, or export less than 5 Dinars...When the LOWEST BILL is a 250!!!?!!?!?!! LOL
