LonestarCowboy:  ~What a beautiful sight to behold~
Awesome, DELTA! Thanks a million! (or in this case 10)

Thundercat:  Wow, is this what we have been waiting to see?  New LD's  Thank you Delta!!!
Cogic1:  Very interesting. It looks similar to the 1990-2003 series but very different.
Im guessing similar enough for old timers to realize what it is and means but different enough to know for the younger that these notes have the security and look of a modern country’s currency...The fact that this new note is out has me excited... well, I AM BEYOND EXCITED!!!!!

EHankins:  IMO... I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT THE IRAQI CITIZENS IF NOT ALREADY WILL BE VERY EXCITED TO HOLD AND USE THEIR NEW IRAQI CURRENCIES WITH A SENSE OF PRIDE...AND UNITY. DELTA THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS POST INTO THE LIGHT.....WOW!!! THIS IS EXCITING...!!!

DELTA:


​StephenMac63:  Ah, the 10 dinar note that Delta posted. First, think about it logically, not emotionally.....ask yourself "Why would Delta post a 10 dinar note?"

From what is seen in the link provided in another posting by Alison in posting 195, it shows the note that was listed in an auction last year. Now ask yourself, "why in the heck would they auction off a 10 dinar note?" For all we know there are no examples of lower denoms.

Do you think the CBI would auction off a 10 dinar note especially when the lower denom program is so secretive to the western world? The answer could possibly be "YES", because imo, this is "A" 10 dinar note.....not "THE" 10 dinar note that will be used for public circulation. IMO, What we are seeing is one example of "A" 10 dinar note that was not selected for public use, which explains why it was sold at an auction.......for numismatic collectors. If it was "the" 10 dinar note, do you really think they would auction it off to the highest bidding counterfeiter?

Delta never presented THE 10 dinar note, he showed you a picture of A 10 dinar note. Thats all that was implied. But this also solidifies something that we never had proof of.......the fact that there are samples of lower denoms that have been designed.

Some see coal, I see a diamond.

Thanks Delta

Belfastgurl:  I just watched this video the Government of Iraq posted on Twitter. It's part of their 'Then and Now' series.

The video positions Iraq as an international mediator and a neutral country not taking sides with anyone. Quote from the video...

"...a new policy of neutrality in all regional disputes, in a region that is known for divergent axes and alliances, constantly clashing, well let's be even more forthright, Riyadh/Tehran, Russia/USA. Iraq has declared that it will remain positively neutral towards all players, opting to put its own interests first, while enjoying positive relationships all-round."

IMO, this neutral positioning of Iraq is critical for the RI and smacks a little of T influence.

Also IMO what we are seeing is a revitalization world-wide and this RI is a HUGE piece of all that is happening right now. While it is a pivotal piece, it is not the whole. Each day of this process brings us to a stronger footing for the RI. Much is at stake here so Iraq, as well as others, are making sure this RI is done right.

I'm genuinely excited to see how this all unfolds. We are part of an amazing time in history!!

99 experiment Edison to reach the invention that illuminated the entire human, the light bulb .. Following his footsteps marched Iraqi Jafar Jawad, who conducted 150 experiments to achieve the idea had been filled in his mind 23 years ago: how to drive his car with water!

Despite the security situation and difficult economic conditions in Iraq, a professor of vocational education in a school in the Iraqi capital Baghdad to convert a Mercedes car model 1988 to work water by relying on hydrogen gas instead of gasoline to move the car.

Jafar, who became an inventor in Iraq through his experience, said he did not change the engine during his experiment, using a small water tank connected to the car's electricity, and that his experience was successful and expected a great future for alternative energy in his country, Iraq.

The Iraqi inventor said that the result of the burning of water is the water vapor, which is considered environmentally friendly, as well as the cost of water, which is cheap in exchange for the high prices of fuel in Iraq and the various Arab countries, which makes the project at all levels.

Persistence despite failure

The insistence on success was one of the most important factors that helped Jaafar achieve his dream and his ambitions. Despite the failure of all his experiments over many years, he finally managed to reach the results of the experiment in its best form.

A full-time 3-month experience, using his car back and forth, completely water-based to operate the car.However, it is considered that the prototype is a primary, can be improved and developed if appropriate support, stressing that all experiments, models and costs used in the invention and conversion of car fuel were at his own expense without government or personal support on the one hand.

On the future of the experiment, he sees that it has received great attention from the Iraqi Minister of Industry and his ministry to develop the project in the future through investment to conduct research and application in Iraq.     link
