So I didn't do any good at all?

On the other forums i hear that the reason why they are giving out ration cards is to motivate the citizens to start using a bank account. If this is true and they do not reval, i am still trying to understand how this would motivate anyone. If it was me, and if i was to decide to waste more money traveling to pick up the ration card then the value of the ration card itself (or maybe i would carpool with a friend ) I would take the money out and let the account rot . However, If the dinars was to reval, this would be very good motivation as i would not be wanting to wander the streets with this new found wealth. The citizens may handle it pretty much the way we would handle it here in the good ole USA and keep the money secure. I am sure most here would not even bother picking up 7 bucks, I wouldn't, would you? I don't think i would even waste the time if i was poor and desperate. Especially when much more money can be made doing other things. Perhaps this is why there is not much excitement in the streets from the people...I bet we sure will hear about it if they had a reval and then give them the 10k dinars.

This makes sense to me, Tex!! For 7 bucks..pretty sure I wouldn't make much of an effort. However, I need some education on this? How much is a loaf of bread in Iraq? Sorry, I am just learning!!

Got my Dinars from Chase today in Scottsdale. They were running low I guess because of the demand so they had to get them from somewhere else and FedEx them overnight. Went there at lunch today and picked up my millions. It took a while to count them!

Let’s be real here for a minute, if they in fact did give away the 10,000 IQD last year don’t you think there would have been a thread on it at the IIF? I looked & found nothing. I don’t think it happened.
