Thread: Iraq/Dinar News. 09/05 to 01/14/07

Well... tried to order more dinars from Chase bank and they told me that they weren't trading anymore...because they didn't have an exchange rate!

Am I the only one who thinks we're getting way off track here by publicly addressing folks at the IMF who may or may not be monitoring RolClub? That isn't our purpose here. If they are monitoring this site, then they are monitoring this site. We should just move along, and keep doing what we've been doing all those times before we didn't think they were monitoring this site.

It just seems pointless to me to publicly, and repeatedly, call out members of the IMF to do this, that, or the other thing. I'm sure that if they are indeed monitoring this site, then they know full-well what we're after. And I am of the opinion that they won't do anything differently based on what we have to say. They'll continue along the course that they have laid out, regardless of whether it meshes with our desires or not.

So I'd like to suggest we just get back to what we've always done, and leave the topic of IMF monitoring RolClub alone. I don't see what anyone has to gain by publicly calling them out, so-to-speak.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I do think that we can find better uses of our time and energy. Thanks...

Sounds like someone works for the IMF and trying to stop us from talking. Heeee Heeee.

Hopefully in the near future this will be the same kind of success story Iraq can talk about and rightfully deserves.

One problem Kuwait does not face is poverty: its public and private savings abroad amount to $200,000 for every Kuwaiti citizen. So long as it sits atop a tenth of the world’s oil reserves, the country—which is about the size of greater Los Angeles—will never run short of cash. But with the native population growing by 3.5% a year, the state is ever harder pressed to pamper its people in the style they are accustomed to.




This style includes free health and education, generous housing loans for newlyweds, cheap petrol, power and water, subsidised bread and other essential goods, and a job for the asking. Because Kuwaitis are essentially guaranteed jobs by the state, all but 7% of the workforce are civil servants. A Kuwaiti economist reckons that about half these bureaucrats do nothing useful. Unlike communist countries, however—where you pretended to work in exchange for pretending to be paid—Kuwait rewards them handsomely. For the liberation anniversary, for instance, the emir, Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah, gave all state employees a $350 gift.

Okay, I had to respond, but I'll take it to PM after this one. But really, God, I wish I worked for the IMF - I'd do whatever I can to speed up this process. No, I'm just a lowly web developer, just trying to form my own web development firm, and get a company up off the ground.

That was funny, though. I never thought in a million years that someone would think up that angle with regards to what I posted.

Alright, sorry Neno - I had to respond. I'll take it to PM from now on.

HERE IS A HUGE FUNNY -

called the 800 line for BOA talked to an investment rep that said "I need to call another 800 #"

Ok I call this 800 # and it is for Fidelity Capital Markets Service. Now this rep is a bit of a jerk, maybe he didn't like my "dump questions". But anyway this is what was said:

Me : I would like to buy some Iraq Dinar if I can get some info on it.

Rep: We don't handle dinar that we can send you.

Me: Well could I purchase as in one of those forex thingys, sorry just trying to understand this currency stuff and don't know much about it.

Rep: no we do not handle dinar because it's not a world traded currency only in Iraq.

Me: Sir, I really don't understand what you just said can you give me a currency 101 class on what that means.

Rep: it means that the currency is used in Iraq and can not leave the COUNTRY. (ok here is were I about busted a gut from not laughing in the phone)

Me: Will it ever become a...what did you call it.....ah... world currency so it can leave Iraq?

Rep: No not anytime soon, maybe in the future but dought it.

Me: It can't leave Iraq???? (stressed voice) OH MY my sister just went to Chase Bank last week and purchase Iraq Dinar, they ordered it from BOA and BOA gave me your phone number and that's how I got you. OH MY if it's not to leave Iraq will that get Chase Bank in TROUBLE or my sister???? OH MY OH MY

Rep: You need to call Chase bank - have a nice day - he hung up.

Sorry, but there is no way that service men/woman are receiving Dinars before being deployed to Iraq...

I know of 2 people who are going back to Iraq, one of them is my brother in-law as another is a very good close buddy who I spent time with in Iraq on our first tour... I will be contacting both ASAP to put this to rest...

BTW Jon Karry
