Iraqi Dinar Value - A Serious Discussion on Where the Value of the Iraqi Dinar Could Be Going in The Near
Future.
Iraqi
Dinar value is about the pure speculation and strategies used to acquire, accumulate, and then profit from Iraqi
Dinar.
The
speculative rise and fall of the Iraqi Dinar Value seems to be a favorite topic of everyone on the
internet.
The current Iraqi Dinar Value set at exchange rates is
determined by the price sold at auction held by the Central Bank of Iraq daily, which involves a number of Iraqi
banks to participate. Recently the Iraqi Central Bank has denied rumors that it is on a quest to raise the exchange
rate of the American dollar against the Iraqi Dinar.
Whether they are truly not trying to increase the relative
value of their currency or not, there has been quite an appreciation of the currency over the past couple of years
in relation to the US dollar. This rise in value is apparent whether they meant to have the currency rise in
relation to the dollar or not.
A serious discussion to the direction of the money is
below.
Determination of Iraqi Dinar Value
I find the stable value of the Iraqi dinar very curious until I
consider the political pressures at work to maintain the Iraqi dinar value on the world market. The vast
amount of resources poured into Iraq by world powers including the US should pave the way for further
stability and hopefully appreciation as the country and its economy rights itself.
When looking at the Iraqi Dinar value a currency is only as strong
as the economy underpinning it. One thing that cannot be overlooked is the natural resources of that economy. Any
serious conversation involving Iraq should take into account the vast natural resources the country is suspected to
have.
Even though it may have lost its luster for the moment
in these trying economic times make no mistake, the country with the most oil wins…
…and Iraq is floating in oil and
other natural resources, and best of all, a huge supply of fresh water, which is crucial to the economy in that
area of the world.

So what levels will the currency return to? Nobody
knows, but this is what I like about this idea.
$50=76,950
NID
$250=384,750
NID
$500=769,500
NID
$5000=7,695,000
NID
$10,000=15,390,000
NID
I have put together a table to see what the return on a certain
amount of money would be if used to buy NID and exchange it with a bank for dollars. The numbers across the top is
the value in US Dollars you might be able to exchange the NID for if and when the economy recovers. I don’t think
you can get any bigger bang for your buck anywhere else. Remember this is just a hypothetical situation if and when
the Iraqi economy recovers.

The above table is just for fun, but I think it gives you some idea
of the speculative possibilities if you let your imagination run wild.
There is another way to look at the equation which is
probably not as pie in the sky, what if the New Iraqi Dinar you buy which represents the oil and gas riches of an
entire nation were to climb to 1 cent to every US dollar?
Lets say you bought 2 million New Iraqi for around $1,600 to $2,400,
and the Dinar climbed to be worth 1 cent for every New Iraqi Dinar you own…
Potential Value of 2 million New Iraqi Dinar:

would be:

What do I think the currency price will return to? It is way too difficult to
predict what a country’s currency is going to be when, but one thing you can do is look at the countries around
Iraq to see how their currencies stack up against the Dollar ($).
In my humble opinion I think it will at least climb to where some of
the oil producing countries have their currency pegged around the region. You can get these currency values
at http://www.oanda.com. It is the best
currency converter out there.
Here are what some of the other countries around Iraq
have as far as currency values, I think that Iraq currency returning to these levels is realistic, though again it
is impossible to predict future results. My hope is that it will return to prewar levels closer to what the Kuwaiti
Dinar is trading for now. So as of the date I am writing this report at the top end you have 1 Kuwaiti Dinar =
$3.472463 to every US Dollar.

Most of these countries with the exception of Saudi Arabia don’t have anywhere near the natural
resources in oil and natural gas that Iraq has in reserves. So while I hope for millions, I think I could
live if I only got a measly couple hundred thousand dollars for my $1000 buying price of Iraqi New
Dinar.
I hope I have created a picture for you of what the possibilities are in this situation. I cannot
stress enough that I am not telling you to do this, I am not even suggesting that you do it. However, I think you
should do a lot of research and see what the possibilities are for you
with this opportunity right now so you can make an educated decision.
