Iraqi Dinar

Dinar 1st placeTop Resource for Unbiased Dinar Information

Everyone is talking about the Dinar, people are investing in the new currency, but is it a hoax or is Iraq’s New Money really a way to get rich quick? We expose the truth, show you how to spot the fakes and explain what the dinar really costs should you decide to move forward.

Thinking about investing in the Dinar? Consider this; say you purchased 146,000 in 2004 at a price of $100 US Dollars, that investment would put you $15 in the hole!

When you purchased the Iraqi Dinar, you, like everyone else, paid a premium of $40 ($30 markup, $10 shipping) and lost $21 due to inflation, so really, you paid $161 for 146,000 dinar. Right now, the value of those 146,000 dinar is $125, that is a loss of $36! Worse, people buying the dinar can have a different exchange rate, again, so they come out ahead. Had you taken that $161 dollars and invested it in a 4% CD, after being adjusted for inflation ($43-$34), you would have made $9!

End Result: CD yields $9, Dinar yields $-36

You’ll see many sites dedicated to the Iraqi Dinar displaying graphs that are seriously skewed and include the Old Iraqi Dinar that is no longer in circulation or even based on the Dinar alone without comparing US values.

Value of the Iraqi Dinar Take a look at the chart to the left, this is what you should really be looking at!

In this chart, we look at the growth of Iraqi money in US Dollars from 2004 to 2012 and compare that to the rate of inflation which is .15 for that period.

Looks pretty bad, doesn’t it? I’ll bet that if you take a look at other sites you won’t find charts like this one! Why, because a chart like this clearly shows the real value of the Dinar.

Here is the pitch used:

In October of 2004, $1 USD would buy you 1,460 Iraqi Dinar (IQD). That same $1 in 2012 will buy you only 1,169 IQD.

Looks good right, but the trick is to get the number 302 in your head as if it were dollars, not dinars, and draw your attention away from fees of .40 cents and inflation of .15 cents since purchase. Here is how it should really read:

$1.40 could buy you 1,460 Iraqi Dinar in 2004, that $1.40 in 2012, adjusted for inflation ($1.25) can now buy you 1,461 Dinar, a difference of 1 dinar.

That one dinar is worth nothing more than fractions of a cent! Doesn’t sound like a very good investment, does it?

What Dinar Dealers don’t tell you!

When I first heard about the Iraqi Dinar, I was skeptical and at the same time felt that I could be on to something big! If Iraq’s money increased enough in value, I could be a Millionaire! I felt a sense of urgency to buy before I missed my opportunity.

I set out to find as much information as I could and within no time at all, I was overwhelmed with hyped-up sites and forums promoting the currency. With my false sense of urgency nagging at me, I decided to dive in and buy 250,000 Iraqi Dinar. At the time I thought it was a great price, but later discovered I paid way too much. In fact, I should have never bought that money in the first place!

Dinar – The Fakes!

These new dinars printed by De La Rue, contain some of the most up-to-date anti-counterfeit features, including watermarks, a security thread, raised letters, an optical variable ink and other variations to thwart off counterfeiters.

Is Iraqi Dinar Legal?

Yes, it is – there is a lot of controversy over buying Iraqi Dinars. Presidential Order 13303 allows US Citizens to invest in the New Iraq. Under this Order and the Coalition Provisional Government Order 39, a US citizen has the same rights to investments as an Iraqi citizen. In fact, you can pick up Iraq Money at your local bank here in the US!

The Iraqi Dinar is a BIG risk and you are gambling that the government in Iraq will pull together and start profiting from its rich oil resources. If it does, then your investment could pay off – that is a BIG IF!

Exactly how much should you pay, the acceptable markup and where you should buy Iraq money from is within this site. Right now, you’ll find prices ranging from $680 to $1,500 for 1 million IQD.

Some dealers will even use smaller bills with many being heavily worn or damaged – Many banks will not accept Iraqi Dinar that is in poor or damaged condition; unscrupulous dealers purchase these damaged dinars for next to nothing, then insert them into a good batch and sell the currency for less than average (not such a good deal!)
