Iraq Currency?
Any thoughts on this...http://www.betoniraq.com/
I suppose given the massive amount of their currency you can buy with ours it would be an interesting way to spend some cash! $40=25,000 dinars so by that logic you could get around and about 30,000 dinars for £30! Quite possibly a waste of money but if in 5 years time their economy recovered enough that the dinars were actually worth anything the multiplication is such that your £30 would be a heck of a lot more! |
more likely to keep plumeting. . .
still, might be worth a punt |
The US Dollar is the only currency worth anything in Iraq..........and yes, I speak from very recent experience!

Slightly off topic :rolleyes:
... but the big money spinner must be re-building Police Stations in Baghdad ...every news report you hear says that another one has been blown up. I mean... How many can they have left :confused: PS FX boys at work say 'forget it' as a potential currency hedge and you'd be better putting your money in Peugeot V6 engines ;) |
LMAO @ sipie :D I'll keep peugeots engine construction team busy :D

We've lost more police stations in this country since good ole Tone came to power....never mind post offices! :D

Chances are that when there are free elections the money will all be re-issued with something to distance itself from the old regime. They'll also probably revalue at the same time so that you don't need a wheelbarrow to do a grocery shop.
Old current notes come in and get swapped. Which is a bugger if you're in the UK and speculating with this suitcase full ofcash... SB |
The right answer

I'll guarantee it - happened to me in Russia twice, 1993 and 1998. Old notes are simply kept as souvenirs.
