1-27-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 DINAR HOLDER MRS B: Bank First never did but Chase has many time and they still do here – they’re not going to cash it, this and that. So I’m like, all right, done with you, insulted. Done with Chase. Bank First here I am. FRANK: So Bank First knew it’s foreign currency that you want to exchange? DINAR HOLDER MRS B: Yep. And they said they take that one and they take the dong. FRANK: That one? You mean to tell me they knew you were talking about the dinar? DINAR HOLDER MRS B: Yep. They sure did. They didn’t deny it one single bit. Every time I would call Chase I got denied. Denied. Denied. This was the first thing that actually said yes and were really friendly and nice and said when the time’s here, come on in and we got you…Come on in…go to the nearest teller and we’ll cash it and put it in your account. Bing, bam, boom. [Post 2 of 2]
1-27-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Wisconsin Bank story] DINAR HOLDER MRS. B: I asked if they [Bank First] take the currency Iraqi dinar. He said yes we do. He asked if I had an account and I said no I would like to open one…He said can I ask you how much currency do you have? I told him and he’s like Oh, wow. Can I put you on hold real quick? …Came back and said someone’s going to call you back today. Not even 30 seconds after hanging up with him I got a phone call. They wanted me to come in the next day to open an account. I went in, I opened my account and talked with a loan officer. She said when the time is here I go in and bring [my currency] to a teller and they’ll take care of me and it was as easy as that. And they’ll put it in my account. We were like wow it’s that easy? We were shocked and we’re happy and now we’re waiting for the go. FRANK: Had they ever in the past told you it was a scam? [Post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
1-27-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Fnu Lnu [Response to Guru Frank26 1-26-2026 post below] This is a common misconception…By 2026, with faded hype, dealer complaints…active holders are estimated at 100,000 to 500,000 US residents. This factors in attrition from scams warnings, market disinterest, and recent bank access reducing speculation; no fresh counts exist from dealers… This equates to around 1 in 600 people hold Dinar. There will be no mob scenes at banks when an RV happens.
1-27-2026 Newshound Guru Pimpy Article: “Marco Rubio warned Baghdad against forming a new Iraqi government controlled by Iran…” I’m still keeping my fingers crossed Maliki doesn’t become the prime minster, but man, all roads are pointing towards it...There’s still a sliver of hope somehow someway the Untied States puts enough pressure on Iraq that they end up voting somebody else in as prime minister, not Maliki.
1-27-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man I’m looking for real data. What that data gave me is unshakable conviction in a study of the Iraqi dinar…I don’t go based off rumors, not promises, not someone else’s opinion. I want to know the true fundamentals…They have reserves…oil…wealth…non-oil growth… Silica…Phosphates…Sulfur. You see about $16 trillion worth of assets they have...I don’t do hype. I don’t do dates and rate. I do what the data shows and the data has never been any clearer…Iraq is…executing…implementation …It’s happening.
1-27-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram I don’t want you to get upset but al-Maliki has been nominated by the dominant Shiite block. Article: “Iraq Shia alliance nominates former PM Nouri al-Maliki as its candidate” This is causing a lot of back channel talk in political circles. A lot of people are unhappy with this news development. Now, he’s been nominated to be the prime minister, but that hasn’t happened yet. Here’s the deal. Can Maliki quiet the storm between Iranian influence in Iraq and US tension…
1-27-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff One thing that is so easy to do is bring your emotions into this, let your emotions guide you and take charge. That’s the one thing you cannot do. You cannot have you emotions guiding you in this. Got to keep those out…If you see Maliki voted in…don’t let your emotions guide you and get you mad and upset in this. Because…at the end of the day do we care who’s voted in? …I don’t personally care who’s voted in…With the new checks and balances coming forward, I don’t care how corrupt you are, they’ll shut you down fast…
1-27-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article quote: “Reconstruction and Development” bloc, headed by al-Sudani, was asked if it was prepared to concede its entitlement to the State of Law coalition in exchange for the prime minister. His response was decisive: “No, we have our political entitlement.” Does this sound like he is going to concede to Nori al-Maliki?
1-27-2026 Intel/Newshound Guru MarkZ [via PDK] Article: “The dollar exceeds the barrier of 150 thousand dinar in Iraq” Iraq is getting to the point where they have to do something. They have to pull the trigger. They are feeling pressure from the whole world to make decisions…Iraq has put together the infrastructure for many years and working to get ready for this moment. I think we are watching the final push…the final crossover. They have reached the point where they have to move forward.
