Well they haven’t gone down in value (only up) since I bought overseas so I am still positive thinking 
Hate to say it but Kaperoni is making plausible arguments for why we'll need a lot of patience with this.
LOL... anybody got a good bank story to raise our hopes?
Just taking advantage of "happy hour" here - no longer a premium member.

Good luck to us all!

JUNE 15 … There is a rule, if they are going to LOP they need to PR it six months before it happens. June 15 is six months before December 31 2010.
SO! … It is appearing, if they DO NOT come out with a PR stating a LOP by June 16, 2010, then we are going into 2011 with our currency, this is, if we have any left because of the RV.

Currency Iraq's Dinar Venders:
The New Iraqi Dinar banknotes, printed by De La Rue, boast of the most up-to-date anti-counterfeit features, including watermarks, an embedded metallic strip, raised letters, an optical variable ink that can be seen only under ultra violet light, metallic ink and other variations to thwart off counterfeiters. In addition, it has high-quality paper that makes the colorful Dinar very hard to counterfeit. And of course there are other security features that have not been disclosed by the Iraqi Ministry of Finance.
Three of the easiest ways to verify the authenticity of the new Iraqi Dinar are:
1) Use black light to test for watermarks such as the horse head.
2) Use a special pen to detect fake bills with changing color - available from your local office supply store.
3) Hold the 25,000 and 10,000 Iraqi Dinar up to a light tilting it back and forth, the color changing ink will look much like a hologram.
Q. What is it that allows American citizens to invest in Iraq?
A. Presidential Order 13303: Allows US Citizens to invest in the new Iraq. Under this order and the Coalition Provisional Government Order 39, a US Citizen has the same rights to investments as an Iraqi citizen.

When the Dinar first came out in 2003 it was 4000 Dinar to $1 (American). Since then it has increased to 1290 Dinar to $1 (American) even during all the conflict and destruction to the oil refineries.
Here are some keynotes about this unique opportunity:
Prior to the Gulf War, 1 million Iraqi Dinar = US $3,200,000.(1 DINAR=$3.20 to 1 American dollar)
Now you can buy 1 million Iraqi Dinar for only US $760.
Iraq is the second leading oil producing country in the world,
and since October, 2003 the Iraqi Dinar has already appreciated 25%.
Forecasters are predicting continued appreciation of the Iraqi Dinar.
You invest $760 to purchase 1 million Iraqi Dinar.
Profit of $9,240 if the Iraqi Dinar appreciates to 1 Iraqi Dinar = 1 penny.
1 million Iraqi Dinar will = US $10,000.
Profit of $3,199,240 if the Iraqi Dinar appreciates to the pre-Gulf War rates.
1 million Iraqi Dinar will = US $3,200,000.
Kuwait Example:
Prior to Saddam Hussein Invading Kuwait: 1M Dinar = US $2,790,000
After the Kuwait invasion by Iraq: 1M Dinar = US $100,000
Today 1M Dinar = US $3,423,000*
*That's a 34-fold increase
On 11/12/06 the Kuwait Dinar is worth $3.84
Potential Value increase of a 1 Million Iraqi Dinar holding if the value of Iraqi Dinar increases to:
The resulting value of your 1,000,000 Dinar would be:
$0.01=$10,000
$0.10=$100,000
$0.20=$200,000
$0.50=$500,000
$1.00=$1,000,000
History of Iraqi Dinar and Iraq Dinar Stock Exchange
1932 Currency unit consisting of 1,000 fils or 20 dirhams. When officially introduced at the end of the British mandate (1932), the Iraqi dinar was equal to, and was linked to, the British pound sterling, which at that time was equal to US$4.86.
1932–1949
1949–1971 Iraqi dinar (ID) equaled US$4.86 between 1932 and 1949 and after devaluation in 1949, equaled US$2.80 between 1949 and 1971.
1959–1967 Iraq officially uncoupled the Iraqi Dinar from the pound sterling as a gesture of independence in 1959, but the Iraqi dinar remained at parity with the pound until the British unit of currency was again devalued in 1967.
1971 One Iraqi dinar remained equal to US$2.80 until December 1971, when major realignments of world currencies began.
1973 Upon the devaluation of the United States dollar in 1973, the Iraqi Dinar appreciated to US$3.39.
1980 It remained at this level until the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War in 1980.
1982 In 1982 Iraq devalued the dinar by 5 percent, to a value equal to US$3.22, and sustained this official exchange rate without additional devaluation despite mounting debt.
1988 In early 1988, the official dinar-dollar exchange rate was still Iraqi dinar (ID)1 to US$3.22; however, with estimates of the nation’s inflation rate ranging from 25 percent to 50 percent per year in 1985 and 1986, the dinar’s real transaction value, or black market exchange rate, was far lower-only about half the 1986 official rate.
1986–2003 1986–2003 between .33 cents to 1.32 to a dollar.
2001 Oil-production: 2.452 million bbl/day (2001 est.); note — production was disrupted as a result of the March-April 2003 war (2001 est.) 2002 GDP: purchasing power parity — $58 billion (2002 est.)
2002 Exports–partners:US 40.9%, Canada 8.2%, France 8.2%, Jordan 7.5%, Netherlands 6.4%, Italy 5.4%, Morocco 4.7%, Spain 4.4% (2002)
2003 In october 2003, the official Dinar-dollar exchange rate was ID1 to US$0.00027.
2004–2005 August 2004 till 2005, the official dinar-dollar exchange rate is ID1 to US$0.00068. Population: 25,374,691 (July 2004 est.) 2006 As of Jan 1st 2006, the official Iraqi dinar-US dollar exchange rate is ID1 to US$$0.00067.
Positive Changes in Iraq
Upon Saddam Hussein’s deposition in 2003, Iraq has undergone political and economic changes. Many believe that the re-building of Iraq’s infrastructure will stabilize Iraq socially, politically, and economically. With the new government establishing a new monetary system that encourages foreign investment, and the central bank of Iraq awarding foreign licences, many also believe that the value of the new Iraqi Dinar banknote is poised to escalate.
More Treasury Bills on the Way
The government of Iraq will issue more Treasury bills to the secondary market. For the first time in years, the central bank auctioned Treasury bills in July. Thus far, local banks have bought 900 billion Iraqi dinars ($628 million) worth of three-month bills with coupons ranging between 2.5 percent and 6.8 percent. To improve Iraq’s local currency, the dinar against the dollar, Iraq’s central bank also plans to build up its foreign-currency reserves.
Creating viable domestic capital markets will start the process of trimming the massive pre-war debt. Iraq’s path to debt reduction along with the generosity of the Paris Club by forgiving 80% of Iraq’s debt is good news for the Iraqi economy. Iraq’s growth-oriented policy, along with Iraq’s prospects of economic stability makes investing in the dinar potentially lucrative.
The Central Bank of Iraq
For the first time in decades, the central bank of Iraq awarded foreign bank licences to the following banks: HSBC, Standard Chartered, National Bank of Kuwait, Iranian National Bank, Commercial Housing bank, and Bahraini Arab Banking Institute. The Bahraini Arab Banking Institute is listed on the Bahrain, Kuwait, and Paris stock exchanges, and its major shareholders include the Kuwait Investment Authority, the central bank of Libya, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Granting foreign licences and liberalizing interest rates will create a vibrant free-market economy. Iraq’s re-invigorated banking policies will positively effect the value of the dinar in the near future.
The Potential of the Dinar
Prior to United Nations sanctions, the Iraqi dinar traded at 3.35 per U.S. dollar, and prior to the war in Iraq, the Iraqi dinar traded at .33 U.S. Dollars. During major combat operations, the Iraqi dinar declined to an all time low. However, after major combat operations, the value of the dinar increased 25%. Countries such as Germany (post WWII) and Kuwait (post Iraqi invasion) experienced a similar devaluation of their currency, but both countries recovered. Today, the dinar has increased from 3,500 against the dollar during the U.S. led invasion last year to 1,400 against the U.S. dollar. Imagine the growth potential of the Iraqi dinar once Iraq recovers and begins to enjoy the potential revenue of a country rich in oil and other natural resources.
The New Iraqi Dinar Banknote
Today, De La Rue, the world’s largest commercial security printer and papermaker based in Great Britian, prints the new Iraqi dinar banknote. The new Iraqi dinar banknote has various security features making the dinar very difficult to counterfiet, and the dinar banknote is now available in 50, 250, 1000, 5000, 10000, and 25000 bills. With the re-building of Iraq’s infrastructure and with the prospect of stability at hand, the Iraqi dinar is quickly becoming a very attractive investment opportunity.
