I find this strange since it seems that the dinar is about to peg and none of the banks even know what it is.

Here in Minnesota, US Bank is being trained to exchange the dinars but I have not inquired for further details.

v6blue, "Whew" I am glad to hear that. We do not have either of those banks (Bank of America or Wells Fargo) but I figured it would not be a hardship to get to one. I thought that they were huge and would know. I am VERY glad to hear that.

HSBC has branches in Kuwait and Jordan, and have a license to do business in Iraq. They don't charge for exchanges, but it will be wise to shop around regardless. They might have an expensive spread, so it is a true must to shop around for the best deal.

Treater, The HSBC Group, is there a branch in the US?

Yikes, something weird happened with my post above. It was cropped, and quoted flygirl twice. lol

i have 2 credit cards from HSBC....they send me a bill each month....and i pay them.....hahaha....so i'm sure i will be able to exchange my dinars for american when it pegs....if i can find where they are located.....lol....GO DINARS....Pat

Thats ok Treater, A girl can never be quoted enough

Yes, all over the US. Not as many as BOA, or WF though.

FG1,

Both of those banks have international banking departments which will be handling the exchanges after the Dinar pegs, as soon as it becomes an internationally traded currency, you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be exchanging it.
