4-30-3015 *Kaperoni ~With the 50 dinar note being officially demonetized on Thursday, April 30th, we can begin to wonder if currency reform is coming soon. Several articles surfaced during the month of April indicating there is a determination to issue a 50 (50,000) and 100 (100,000) dinar notes as stated as..”a prerequisite to the deletion of zeros.” If this scenario is correct, this means the CBI is preparing for the transition. That issuing of the 100 and 50 would be the first step towards beginning to raise the exchange rate, and moving towards a currency without 3 zeros (and as stated in the articles as a “prerequisite.”...Inevitably gaining enough value to introduce even more smaller notes such as a 20, 10, 5 and 1 dinar over a period of time as the dinar rises. This scenario is what we want to happen. This would be the beginning of the restructuring of monetary policy and the dinar. This would allow us as dinar investors the greatest potential gain as Iraq’s economy prospers. More than likely the new series of notes (once they all have been issued) will all be same size like the USA. In doing so, they work well in ATM's, counters, etc. and will not jam. The 50 was so small it was not appropriate, didnt have security and would not fit with the new notes. It had to go. People spend way to much time trying to figure out why that 50 was demonetized. The answer was right in front of us. Now moving forward the CBI can begin with the 100, and 50 and begin to raise the value...this process will continues for a few years until the eventual introduction of the 20, 10, 5 and 1 dinar...and some fils to support the economy and new rate.
