I walked into the branch, with the intention of purchasing 250K dinar. I went straight for the teller who had helped me before (time was limited, and I didn't want to wait the time while someone else had to learn the process themselves). I said 'Hello' to her, and then said I wanted to purchase some Iraqi Dinar. She immediately stated that they were no longer allowed to sell the dinar. Playing the stupid, "I don't know nothing" card (which really wasn't all that much of a stretch for me), I figured I'd just ask, "Why?" (on the uber-off-chance that she might know something... But didn't expect any earth-shattering information from her). Anyway, she said she had no idea, and then she suggested I hold on to the dinar that I had.

I was ready to leave, thinking, "Hey, if they're no longer selling, maybe something is definitely about to go down", when the teller said, "Well, let me double-check, but I don't expect anything to be different from yesterday, when another customer came in and asked to buy, and we found out we couldn't sell anymore". 'Lo and behold, she checked, and they were allowed to sell again. So I purchased my "Christmas Gifts" for my family, and walked out the door.

Now, the question that begs to be asked is: One single branch, same teller, one day about a month or so ago, I can buy all the Dinar I want. Yesterday, same teller tried to sell to another customer, and wasn't allowed to. Today, they're allowed to. What is with the flip-flopping at the same branch, with the same teller?

I don't know what this means, or if it means anything. Just thought it was noteworthy to share with all. And, if by chance, there's a user/guest out there who was in a Dayton, Ohio branch of Chase Bank yesterday, trying unsuccessfully to buy Dinar - Try it again... They're mysteriously selling it again.

Things sounds somewhat familiar... remember the B of A Nov. 13 investigation that prompted thousands of phone calls to B of A trying to confirm...
The gal I personally spoke to told me when I asked her if they would be
dealing with it on 11/13... it had been yes/ no..yes/no all week.. and
was waiting for Mon. 13 to get a fax if it ended up being "yes"... the fax
never came... but I realized by her ..yes/ no comment that something was
still flexible in regard to whatever is going on behind the scenes.. and I think
there really isnt a set date in stone... I think its more of a event or series
or things that need to be completed.. and when that happens.. then the rv happens...! jmho.. :) but things are sounding good! :)

I'm with the guy that has been hyped up for months over this Soon thing its seems that every law & condition has been met is there bus loads of investors from around the world in Iraq right now fianlizing deals to invest in Iraq "s Oil, Agriculture & various business ventures Stabucks, Mcdonalds , Pepsi are these guys operating freely there now?
Also has anyone heard anything about Freedinar lately they missed the last 2weeks on there calls are they & other dealer not selling dinar I know the guys at E-bay haven't changed anything infact I've seen Dinar going cheaper now than it did this summer.. Don't get me wrong I'm still positive about this just confused that if things are going so good where are the signs . I do see the news articles but not any public action if you know what I mean. I don't post much but I talk to myself alot out loud I'm I losing it?
