8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Militia Man Article: “A crisis of confidence and a cash economy: Round 97 trillion Iraqi dinars are outside the banking system” roughly 90- 97 trillion dinars sitting outside the formal banking system out of about 105 trillion issued…Roughly two-thirds…is actively used in trade settlements, real-estate deals, and wage payments. Only about a quarter looks like classic hoarding. That distinction matters…
8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Despite government denials, a member of the Finance Committee confirms the imminent removal of zeros from the dinar” Quote: “the Iraqi government received recommendations from international bodies, including the United States, to remove zeros from the Iraqi currency, arguing that this would help to strengthen confidence in the Iraqi dinar
and thus contribute to attracting more foreign investments,” while also confirming in its report that the Central Bank of Iraq “has not yet provided a timetable for implementing the process of removing zeros,“
8-25-2026 Intel Guru Guy You remove the three zeros to get your population to bring in their old notes and at the same time you reinstate the currency as a tradable currency, also called an RV or revaluation. To me RV and RI are the same. Redenomination is a separate action but it is done concurrently with the revaluation. In my informed opinion we’ll get two announcements one right after the other. And when we do, that’s when we have to jump onto our action plan… [Post 2 of 2]
8-25-2026 Intel Guru Guy The government of Iraq and its central bank have to consider two audiences whenever they make an announcement about the currency. They have their domestic audience, their own citizens, and internationally. They’ve got the entire financial world involved, all the central banks, all the national treasuries, the large commercial banks, corporate interests invested in their country and they have whales and individuals owning billions and billions of dinars. When they make an announcement they have to consider those two audiences. Domestically they want their population to bring in the mattress money into the banks…If they announce “lopping”…that would be a redenomiation vs revaluation or reinstatement. Let’s look at the two actions as simultaneous. [Post 1 of 2]
8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Several delete zeros LOP articles are now coming out. But these are not official and they are not the decision of the CBI. In my opinion they are just to combat speculators. It is contrary to what Iraq is doing it within the country. It’s very important when it comes to Iraq to understand what they are doing, not what they are saying. What they are
doing is converting their banking system to digital, encouraging foreign investment and diversifying their economy. These contradict delete zero articles.
8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Sandy Ingram It’s not the news we were hoping for…The new regional Central Bank of Iraq’s governor told parliament’s finance committee that Iraq’s foreign currency reserves have fallen from approximately $109 billion to $77 billion. This is a decline of approximately $31.5 billions. That’s an awful lot guys…Iraq’s monthly payroll including pensions is around $5.1 billion a month. Iraq’s oil revenue has dropped since March 2026…A decline in foreign reserves combined with more dinars entering into the economy can create additional challenges…This is the scenario the IMF has warned Iraq about repeatedly. And this is why the IMF has not backed Iraq in adjusting its currency…The important question is what happens next?
8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen There is an acceleration period happening right now that I don’t think anyone can deny. Even if you’re not a bullish dinar revaluation investor, you could still look at the country of Iraq and say, you know what, a lot has been happening. They are moving very very quickly. If you’re holding Iraqi dinar we believe it’s only a matter of time before it does revalue and have greater value…
8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article ”US pressure on Baghdad to expedite the removal of zeros from the dinar to curb money laundering” Quote: “the approval of this project will strip the old currency denominations of their legal tender value and stop their circulation as official currency, which will force the holders and smugglers of those funds to bring them in and deposit them exclusively through official banking channels inside Iraq to exchange them for the new denominations, which will ensure the reintegration of smuggled capitals into the national financial system.”
8-25-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 When they say, ‘we’re lifting the zeros but we’re not adding any value to the currency‘, that’s an oxymoron. It is a statement of stupidity. It is a definition of what is called a lop. It’s so stupid because they’re talking about a lop. You and I know that Iraq is not doing that. They’re adding value…They’re not talking about taking value away…
8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff You’re lucky to see one or two deleting the zeros articles per year…There was 10 to 15 articles in one day. Ever since there’s been one or two every other day since two Sundays ago. Today there was another 5 or 6…Normally when they post a tremendous amount of [articles on a subject] it’s because they’re getting ready to do that.
8-25-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Baghdad spent Monday evening arguing with itself in public…First the government’s spokesman, Haider al-Aboudi, told reporters no decision had been made to remove the zeros from the dinar. Then Rebwar Karim, who sat in Sunday’s finance committee session with the CBI, confirmed the government intends to do exactly that. And then…Iraq’s central bank has finalized designs for a new series of banknotes and plans to produce 7.5 billion of them across 4 countries, at a stated cost of 250 billion dinars…A government that intends nothing does not have finished note designs. A central bank studying an idea does not price a production run. What you watched on Monday was a state answering questions in the order a note exchange requires. Deny the decision. Concede the intent. Surface the paper…And it all landed inside one enormous news day.
8-25-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Iraq to introduce new banknotes with three zeros removed“ Quote: “Iraq intends to remove three zeros from its currency to modernize financial transactions, reduce physical cash circulation, and return stockpiled funds to the official banking system… Under the suggestion, a 25,000-Iraqi dinar note would become 25 Iraqi dinars, but the currency’s purchasing power and true financial value would stay unaffected…Iraq has sought printing partners in the United Kingdom and Australia, as well as its traditional suppliers in France and Germany, to create an estimated 7.5 billion new banknotes…the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has yet to present a formal draft bill to parliament.“
8-25-2026 Guest Guru Ross …when you take a look at how far we’ve come in such a short time… so exciting: • Official announcement: decision to delete 3 zeros is made • Zeros deletion = Step 1 (internal cleanup). Rate move = Step 2 • ~40 trillion IQD potentially blocked via proof-of-origin checks Exploring Political Commentary Podcasts • Communications Minister speaking on currency is unusual (normally CBI territory) • Zaidi’s first 100 days framed as major repositioning… • Clawbacks and canceled contracts improve fiscal runway for a higher rate • 2027 budget submission expected late Sept/early Oct • Budget written at the old rate becomes obsolete if the rate moves after — creates a hard window • Digital payment infrastructure and bank reintegration advancing • Regional pressure has made banking + fiscal reforms non-optional. Everything is aligning for the rate adjustment phase.
8-25-2026 Guest Guru Judy Byington This reset starts with Iraq. The sanctions that kept the dinar down for decades are no longer in place. Digital banking systems that follow international standards are up and running. The UN and US oversight has officially ended, giving back full sovereignty. Internal anti-corruption operations have gotten back stolen property and turned it into revaluation leverage. Iraq is no longer limited. It is turned on. Vietnam and Zimbabwe are next, with resource-backed frameworks already in place…This isn’t a lot of talk. It is the end of a long-planned restructuring of the money system. The reset didn’t come with a lot of noise. It got there on time.
8-25-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat I have to tell everyone that there are new events that lead us to strongly believe that there is once again a target of January 2027 for a reinstatement. This means they will have to remove the zeros in the later part of 2026 (the fall season) in preparation for this later event early next year to occur. If you recall the significance of removing the zeros will set the stage for the reinstatement at much higher rate over the dollar. By removing the zeros in-country in itself will need a new rate of some sort (a revaluation) or these newer lower denominations will be almost worthless at 1/6 of a penny 1320 rate. I hope everyone understands this concept?
