Iraqi Dinar Guru opinions 8-19-2026

8-19-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: The television here in Iraq says there are plans to remove the three zeros from the dinar and reprint our currency. The move they say aims to tackle large denominations, to push hoarded cash into the banks and to curb illicit money…If it follows a 1,000 old dinar to a new 1 dinar rate, then 1 million old dinars becomes 1,000 new ones. This redenomination simplifies transactions without automatically booting purchasing power or the exchange rate. Experts note it could reduce the money supply if old bills go un-exchagned. They say on TV that while online voices mix optimism about isolating legitimate funds with caution on real gains amid current rates that near the .00076 per dinar. The central bank has not set a timetable.

8-19-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel The new currency began arriving in Baghdad…at approximately August 6. It was contracted for printing long ago…and is now sitting in a vault waiting for deployment…Physical currency doesn’t get printed, shipped across borders, transported to Baghdad under security, and then sit in a warehouse indefinitely…The longer the new notes sit, the higher the probability of a leak that would allow the corrupt to begin converting hoarded dinars before the switch…They cannot hold this much longer… The switch has to happen within days, not weeks.

8-19-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “IRAQ TO DROP ZEROS FROM ITS CURRENCY AS DINAR ‘REDENOMINATION RETURNS?” Note the question mark in the title. In the article it says that “Iraq’s Communications Minister Mustafa Sanad says Iraq has decided to remove zeros from the dinar and reprint the currency, but the Central Bank remains the country’s monetary authority and has not publicly confirmed a timetable. Is Iraq preparing to remove zeros from its currency after years of discussion over a possible dinar redenomination?” The news is just flowing from Iraq like an over poured bier flows from it’s stein…It is so amazing what is going on now as we are about to see the removal of the zeros from the Iraqi dinar…The pressure to conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros is enormous.

8-19-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ Short bank story…From a Wells Fargo and one of our members- “So…(Saturday) I accompanied my friend to a WF branch. While waiting for her in the lobby I saw new machines in a glass walled room and asked an employee if those were the new currency exchange machines…she said “Yes they were and they arrived just a couple weeks ago”. She told me that for the time being only the manager can use them but, two bank employees were training to work them soon for the new currency exchange system…. This was in Florida. This is happening with many banks and does not make sense unless they were preparing for something.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Three zeros could unlock the vaults of the hidden economy, Al-Hashemi said: Replacing the dinar could reveal hoarded billions and put corrupt funds to the test of source and legitimacy” Quote: “the transition from the current dinar to a new currency may require holders of large cash holdings to reintroduce their money into the official financial system for the purpose of exchanging it, which would give the Central Bank and the government more room to scrutinize the sources of funds and distinguish, as he described it, between ‘clean dinars’ and ‘dirty dinars’.”

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy If we don’t get these restrictions in the United States [off the Iraqi dinar] removed, then we’re screwed. Not only can’t you get your money back for your old notes being changed in for your new notes, you can lose your money all together.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff The value in-country – whatever you could buy with a 25k note before the rate change, you’ll be able to buy after the rate change with a 25 note…Outside the country…Iraq’s currency is going to have a value against foreign currencies….If it’s $3.00 a 25k note is worth $75,000. A 25 note is worth $75…Articles are trying to give you a different understanding…They can’t tell you they’re sign to revalue. They’re trying to make you believe it’s not going to revalue…

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen Redenominations historically have happened in hyper inflated countries where inflation is out of control. Iraq has less than 3% inflation rate. That means they have meticulously maintained their monetary policy and economic policy for so many years now. I don’t believe they did all of that just to have a net neutral event, to not give their people any more purchasing power. And I don’t think they’re going to leave us foreign investors sitting in the dark…

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man They’re doing it on their own timelines. [All the components] don’t all have to happen at the same time. Just like the check boxes…they don’t have to have them all done, but they’re pushing for them all…Execution on a REER is what I’m looking for. They all collectively happen around the same time, so be it…

8-18-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Outside [Iraq] it’ll probably start at $1.31 more than likely. I hope it reaches a Real Effective Exchange Rate of about $4.25 IMO. I’m not going to stick round and watch that happen. That may take months. That may take years…If it comes out at $1.31 my butt is at the bank…

8-18-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick It was 10 days ago on August the 6th the LDs [Lower Denominations] were put into a secure location. Because they are in this location, they are now in a vulnerable position because they are too close to the banks. They are running out of time. They’ve already spent 10 days. They cannot afford any leaks. Therefore within days or 1 or 2 weeks they’ve got to do what they promised. They are subject to huge massive leaks. If you have a leak, it could destroy everything …They’ve got to fulfill this…They have to do something now.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “The parliamentary finance committee responds to statements about removing zeros and sets a condition for raising the value of the dinar” Quote: “Changing the currency is…a highly sensitive monetary issue that can affect citizens’ expectations, the movement of money, and the dollar and gold markets, stressing that he is waiting for an official and clear position from the Central Bank of Iraq and the competent authorities that clarifies the reality of the project, its legal basis, its economic feasibility, and the timing of its implementation.”

8-18-2026 Boots-On-The-Ground Guru Omar They’re talking on the television right now about removing the zeros from the Iraqi dinar. They say it is a long awaited economic reform or a risk of inflation…The television is telling us removing the zeros is commonly referred to as a redenomination, would change the numerical denominations of Iraq’s banknotes without necessarily changing the currency’s real purchasing power…TV critical distinction is removing zeros would not automatically make the dinar more valuable…It’s going to make daily operations much easier.

8-18-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq’s PM advisor publicly stated the country sits on more than 16 trillion dinars in natural resources, 5th largest proven oil reserves, 2nd largest phosphate reserves on Earth. The GDP is $265 billion. That’s a resource to GDP ratio of 60 to 1. Saudi Arabia’s ratio is 15 to 1. Iraq carries 4x the resource gap of Saudi Arabia at a program rate set during reconstruction 22 years ago.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Samson Article: “THE CENTRAL BANK REMAINS SILENT ON THE REMOVAL OF ZEROS AMID MARKET CONFUSION”

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy We don’t want them to delete the zeros. Trust me, you want them to leave the zeros on there…Them deleting the zeros off the currency is not them devaluing the currency. There’s a misunderstanding. Deleting the zeros doesn’t change the exchange value of the Iraqi dinar. 25,000 X $0.00076 = $19. If you take away the zeros… 25 x $0.76 = $19…It does not change the value of the Iraqi dinar.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Deleting the zeros is the very next banking reform step and being implemented in the second half of the year ’26. That’s why they brought all those articles forward yesterday…It wasn’t a coincidence.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen Besides deletion of the three zeros argument, one of the other largest arguments against a possible revaluation of the Iraqi dinar is the money supply is too big…Imagine Iraq announces you bring in your old dinars into the banking system. We will exchange them for the new currency. But very large amounts of currency must pass a source of funds check. Now imagine 40 trillion old dinars sitting in warehouses, homes, safes involving criminal networks, corruption proceeds, etc. whose holders cannot satisfactorily document where the money came from…Those holders would have a problem. If they take the cash to a bank they potentially expose themselves to investigation or confiscation. If they don’t take it to the bank before the old currency is demonetized, those notes eventually cease to be legal tender…

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Economic Observatory: Government silence regarding ‘currency change’ is confusing the Iraqi dinar market” Quote: “Eco Iraq held the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance responsible for clarifying the truth about the decision and any confusion in the Iraqi market resulting from their silence, demanding that the competent authorities issue an official statement explaining the reasons for changing the currency, the implementation mechanisms, the timetable, and guarantees to protect citizens’ savings and market stability.”

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel The Iraqi government is preparing to submit the 2027 federal budget to the Council of Representatives, with the bill expected by late September or early October. This is not routine. A budget submitted with the old exchange rate baked into its revenue projections would be fiscal malpractice if a revaluation is imminent because every line item, every public sector salary, every oil revenue projection, every dinar-denominated expenditure would be calculated on a pre-revaluation basis, meaning the moment the rate changes, the entire budget becomes instantly inaccurate and must be recalculated and resubmitted. They won’t submit a budget they know will be obsolete in weeks.

8-18-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel The 2027 budget submission is the fiscal wall. The rate has to move before the budget bill arrives at parliament, because the budget itself has to be written in the new currency’s value. Late September is the deadline for the budget. That means the rate change has to happen before late September. September 1 is the earliest date the enforcement infrastructure is in place. The window is September 1 through roughly September 20-25. That’s the operational corridor.

8-18-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] On the bond side I had 3 contacts reach out…3 different sources from different continents…and all 3 had the same story. In a nutshell all 3 claimed that things went exceptionally well this weekend and it is kicking off and they all will be paid within the next 2 weeks and toward the end of that we will be exchanging currencies…

8-18-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat The FACTS speak for themselves. Iraq will have to do something in the VERY near future to resolve this liquidity crisis before it turns into an inflation crisis, which could get out of hand real quick. They cannot continue to print more currency. I have never heard my CBI contact talk in such urgency before…
