10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article Quote: “Raising the dollar exchange rate to over 1,500 dinars may not be the last surprise Baghdad has in store. While Iraqi markets have begun adjusting to the new rate, the government, according to informed sources speaking to Al-Mada, is preparing for a more sensitive step: replacing the currency and removing zeros. The sources say the process could begin within a few months, perhaps at the start of next year, but no later than the first quarter of 2027…Replacing the currency could help track down at least $200 billion believed to be held by corrupt individuals.”
10-9-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick Iraq is not quick to do anything so Trump put them in a predicament…[Iraqi] Exports are good. They make money off that…They import a lot, is bad. They’re paying higher prices…which turns the citizens against you for doing that to them...[The CBI] is trying to collect 3-zero notes…but they need to collect USD too. There’s a lack of liquidity in Iraq right now so they’re trying to draw in US dollars… This [1510 devaluation] is short-term…This is a wake up call. Get off the pot. Use your own currency.
10-9-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq’s cut to 1,500 is the first move in a sequence: Lower the rate. Replace the currency. Raise the rate…Step one is now done. Most people have forgotten how much of the rest Iraq has already put in place: the new notes, the smaller notes, the coins, the gold, the banks, the pipelines, and the oil that has to flow before the last step can happen. That oil is moving again.
10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen They’re not going to tell us everything. If the revaluation/reinstatement is going to be this massive wealth event for the country of Iraq and anyone that holds their currency, do you think it’s going be out in the open as far as what they’re doing? Or do you think there’s going to be confusion, which is what we’re seeing? Most likely it’s going to seem like things are not going to change or get better, which is what we’re seeing…
10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Notice how at the same time as the cabinet is ready to go to vote, which allows them to revalue, they quickly created a dinar vacuum to suck in the last remaining notes, implement misdirection, confusion and so forth. Perfect timing to bring this all together and wrap this up within the next few weeks…

10-9-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel I needed to make this clear for those who will attempt to use those reserves as an excuse as to why it is so impossible for Iraq to go back to 3.22 or 4.00. We are getting paid in secondary markets. We will not be draining Iraq’s reserves or economy. This is precisely why the reserve figure matters so much: the $85B isn’t a payout fund, it’s the credibility backstop that lets the secondary market absorb redemptions at the new rate without Iraq’s books imploding. The reserves guarantee the currency’s floor; the market handles the flow.
10-9-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Remember we are dealing with Iraq and so things could change suddenly. There is also much more progress than what we read in the news. We don’t need a ‘perfect’ Iraq to have a reinstatement. Only to follow ‘the plan’ and get enough security and stability to attract investors to grow the economy. I firmly believe statements I hear from the IMF and the CBI that Iraq is to be the ‘financial center’ for the middle east… Do you see now why President Trump is paying so much attention to the country?
