#4  J - No, just spent an hour or so googling, mainly to see if it was still considered a scam - as it most certainly once was. Seems the temperature of the hits I got were at least a bit more positive than it was about 18 months ago when this BlogAd first started running. Indeed, research is called for if the investment level is above "fun money" as BR sez.

Once on the ForEx, then you'll see if you'll ever recover the juice you paid on the original purchase.

#3  James has listed the site. I think its worth investing (speculating) with some fun money. Very high risk. Very much hype. Probably a little better odds than a lotto ticket. I figured its like buying stock in a company on the verge of bankruptcy.

Some banks in this country are buying and selling over the counter but you cannot have a Dinar account in the US yet.

#2  .com, are you a member at IIF?
Also, please check out iraqidinarinformation.com.

Do not buy based on a rumor... Much research is necessary here.

#1  Main issue:
The Iraqi Dinar (IQD) is not traded on the Foreign Exchange Market (forex - for those inevitable searches, heh) yet, which is why you can't go exchange or deposit it into your local bank.

The usual questions... a sampler...
Where can you buy dinars?
What is the markup?
Who, exactly, is pocketing that profit?
Where and how can you sell them?
How long can you afford to hold the investment?

This is an interesting idea.

But clear answers are not easy to come by...

G'luck.
