8-14-2026 Newshound Guru Thom I heard someone say that if the VND goes to 20 cents, it wouldn’t be worth it to them after holding it for so long… Today the value of the 1 VND is $0.00003832 USD. What percentage increase is it if it goes to 20 cents USD? Approximately 521,821%!
8-14-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen How the heck is the Iraqi dinar worth 1310 dinar per US dollar with a super low inflation rate…This is my biggest argument for the Iraqi dinar revaluation. If they wanted to cut the three zeros off and redenominate, they could have done that years ago…They have meticulously controlled their exchange rate…financial structures and mechanisms for a reason. I believe that reason is quickly approaching.
8-14-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Parliamentary Finance Committee: The Ministry of Finance has begun preparing the 2027 budget” Quote: “There is an agreement between the Prime Minister and the Finance Committee that there should be a budget and that it should be passed in the House of Representatives as quickly as possible, given that the country’s situation requires a budget in order to achieve financial stability, which will determine the exchange rate, the price of a barrel, export mechanisms,
and how to operate.”
8-14-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: The Central Bank of Iraq has recorded notable shifts and marked a decline in its financial indicators…Official reserves are shrinking. FRANK: Not good. But good for us…Iraq’s reserves…$77.8 billion. That’s it. That’ll be gone in 3 months or less. You can’t do that. That’s not how you run a government … your household …your purse…Iraq has to stop cannibalizing it’s reserves and they have to raise the value.
8-14-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Article: “Al-Zaidi confirms that a US official stated Iraq will enter a new phase starting next October” This could be perceived from some different angles. It’s almost suggesting Iraq is going to be a sovereign nation as of October. Here’s a bad way that could be perceived… that Iraq might not be revaluing till the end of September allowing them to be sovereign in October. [Another way to look at this] Change the rate most likely around the second half of August, giving them all of September to do the 150+ laws and other things like banking reforms. Get all that approved, finalized, implemented through parliament, all ready to go, have it all done by September 30th…makes them sovereign October 1st.
8-14-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence For 23 years, every armed group in Iraq that answered to Tehran held the same justification: foreign soldiers on Iraqi soil. This week the foreign forces [United States] put their departure in writing. Baghdad co-signed it. So, what does a resistance “resist” on October 1? Not an occupier. Not anymore…Guns settled first…Cabinet seated next…Budget written…RV Rate last…
8-14-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Today the 250 note is worth about 2 cents USD, the 500 note about 5 cents USD and the 1000 note about 90 cents USD. I also reminded my contact that the 250, 500 and 1000 notes will remain as notes in circulation after the swap out of currency and so I asked if this does impact anything. She said this still applies and could be a part of the reason why they are hording them. Could it be the citizens are holding on to these notes because they are special? At a $4 new rate the 250 will be worth $1,000, the 500 worth $2,000 and the 1000 worth $4,000.
8-14-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] …let’s hope that we are on the track that we think we are, and let’s hope that everything is about to come to fruition…Because at this point, guys, we believe everything is still good for this week, but we’re just going to have to wait it out and see if that’s what happens.
