Quote: “Salam Zaidan, a member of the Iraqi Banks Association, says that the main function of removing zeros is to reduce the number of digits and facilitate calculations; so instead of the budget being approved with figures amounting to trillions of dinars, it becomes billions, and a salary of one million dinars, for example, becomes 100,000 of the new unit if the removal is limited to one zero in the example, or one thousand when three zeros are removed.” : Clare
