ok, the 5 is Iraq P-70 1981a
the 10 is Iraq P-71, UNC, (1982)
the 1 note is Iraq P-69, UNC, (1979)

false alarm, sorry kids.

but the question still remains why only the smaller denominations shown in this document that was released in 2005?? and why are they talking about fiscal policy then all of a sudden show lower denominations without explanation?

the document was previously classified i am assuming since it now carries the 'unclassified' stamp. it is also a scanned copy of a document that has been made into a pdf file.

I hear the frustration in your post. You said everything "laws and all" was in place but actually i would say they are mostly in place. The HCL is in place soon (sorry, had to say that)... ok, the HCL should be ready in 3 weeks.

And probably more importantly, the ICI (Iraq's version of the Marshall Plan) will be ready by the end of the year.

So, "soon" may not be tomorrow but i believe "soon" is before Christmas time. Anyone else take a RV in leu of a present?

Iraq's debts vanish

20 November 2006 (Iraq Directory)

International Monetary Fund previously approved on 23 / 12 / 2005 the "Support Arrangements" to cover the stage until 2006. Such arrangements will speed up the extinguishing of approximately (130) billion dollars of the total debt accumulated upon Iraq during the era of the former regime.

Members of Paris Club
On the 21 / 11 / 2004 Iraq negotiated a preliminary agreement with the Eighteen countries that make up (the Paris Club) for an immediate write-off rates at 30% of Iraq's debts which amount to about 50 billion dollars credited to the Member States (the United States of America wrote off all its debt upon Iraq which is nearly four billion dollars in January 2004).

As for writing off the second installment of Iraq's debts to Paris Club countries, which are equivalent to 30% of the original debt, Iraq has signed the Convention of the (Support Arrangements) with the International Monetary Fund in the 23 / 11 / 2005 to implement it.

Entering these arrangements with the IMF, the debt will be reduced by additional (12) billion dollars to the Paris Club, followed by the elimination of the remaining debt of (8) billion dollars automatically, in case Iraq succeeds in implementing the (Support Arrangements) convention with the IMF in 2008.

The Gulf Cooperation Council
A number of the (Gulf Cooperation Council) States called upon Iraq to payback amounts that exceed (50) billion dollars offered by those States as financial assistance to the former regime during the Iraqi-Iranian war from 1980 to 1988. Iraq has received assurances from those States to settle the debts under conditions similar to those, at the very least, agreed by Iraq with the Paris Club countries.

In spite of the tireless efforts made by the Minister of Finance, Professor Baqir Jabr Azzubaidi, to exempt Iraq from all its debt to Saudi Arabia, on bases Arab brotherhood and common destiny, the results were not satisfying... We hope that the Saudi side understands of the current circumstances in Iraq and that the government of national unity is not responsible for this debt in the first place. However, (40) billion dollars, or more, will be written off in case of signing bilateral agreements with the States of the Gulf Cooperation Council during the coming year 2007.
States, outside the framework of (the Paris Club) Iraq is in debt of (20) billion dollars for countries outside the scope of (the Paris Club). In this regard, Iraq had signed an agreement with (Hungary, Romania, South Africa, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Malta), which agreed to cancel all debts by100%, according to personal efforts by Mr. Baker Jabr Al-Zubaydi, Minister of Finance, and talks are still continuing with other countries with great success. An agreement will soon be signed with (Bulgaria), from which Professor Aziz Jaafar Hassan, Personal Adviser to the Minister of Finance, had returned a few days ago to prepare the conditions for the signing of the bilateral agreement for the settlement of Iraq's debts with Bulgaria.

Commercial debts
More than (600) business entity claims for the payment of debts owed to Iraq during the period of the previous regime totaling more than 22 billion dollars. Iraq has paid these debts on basis similar to the Paris Club agreement and has completed more than (4) commercial offers cash rate (25 / 10) cents for every dollar, reducing the total debt by more than (4) billion dollars; in addition to offering the senior creditors, whose debts are more than (35) million dollars, the purchase of bonds at a total amount of (14) billion dollars. These bonds were issued roughly equivalent to (3, 225) billion dollars and is expected to reduce Iraq's debt, which amounts to (130) billion $,to about (50) billion dollars which will be reduced to less than (30) billion dollars in case Iraq succeeds in implementing the (Support Arrangements) signed with the International Monetary Fund by 2008.

The Minister of Finance, Baqer Jabr Al-Zubaydi, said that the Iraqi government has inherited major challenges, (3) years ago, including the debt burdens which amount to 130 billion dollars; however, many of those challenges will be passed. The Minister of Finance and his team were able to reschedule Iraq's debts, which most of them will be resolved by 2007.

I like the las t part of this statement, "blocking speculators". This may be a "heads up" that dinar available to buy will soon dry up. Since the CBI is the ultimate source of dinar, and they are not selling, the available dinar in the pipeline is all there is going to be. Unless someone wants to sell/buy from Ebay.

Dear Mr. Shabibi,

As I have followed the Dinar for awhile now I have begun to note that you have begun an aggressive management plan that appears to entail large purchases of outstanding Iraqi Dinar in the currency market. As such, I have also heard that sources of Iraqi Dinar are beginning to "dry up" amongst the banking community. With that thought in mind, I'd like to make a suggestion. Have you tried EBAY? Here's a link: eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices.

Best wishes on the reval,

Sincerely,

[your name here]
