9-18-2026 Newshound Guru Stephen The only things we don’t have in front of us is new notes ready to go. Some parliamentary members have said this is already done and completed. The CBI is saying, no it’s not. So you have a lot of conflicting information. I believe it is intentional misinformation. Kuwait did a very similar thing before they added value to their currency too. So this is not to be unexpected. We’re seeing a lot of that happen.
9-18-2026 Newshound Guru Ariel The Central Bank of Iraq publicly stated two weeks ago that the “next step will be joining the international financial market” — meaning full forex integration. That statement was not aspirational. That was a declaration of operational readiness. CBI does not broadcast next steps unless the infrastructure is already in place…Iraq cannot join forex at 1,310 IQD per USD. That rate is a program rate a placeholder. No international financial market accepts a currency at an administratively set value that does not reflect underlying economic reality. The rate must move to reflect Iraq’s gold reserves, diversified economic output, and fiscal capacity…The CBI’s statement…is confirmation that the rate adjustment is the gating event. You do not announce forex entry while maintaining a program rate. The rate change precedes or coincides with international market entry.
9-18-2026 Newshound Guru Clare Article: “Iraq ‘Considers New Banknote Series‘” Quote: “Iraq is considering replacing its current banknote series with a new issue, aiming to withdraw counterfeit, damaged and stolen notes from circulation and draw hoarded cash back into the banking system…According to 964 Media, discussions within the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and the parliamentary Finance Committee are focusing on a full currency replacement rather than a redenomination removing zeros…with the option of removing zeros ruled out for the time being…”
9-18-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Walkingstick [Iraqi bank friend Aki update] I’m waiting for the CBI to tell me to use what I have…We are working with the ATM machines…in Michigan. Back in 2003 Iraqis came to the United States of America and they brought their three zero notes. Those 3 zero notes will be converted not only into American dollars but…into lower notes. There are thousands of Middle Easterners that live in this area where my bank is. These people are going to get lower notes because they will be returning back home to their country…They will not exchange it for American dollars, they will exchange it for the lower notes. We will be distributing this to them when we give them the cards. Our bosses want us to see if we can convince them to use the cards instead of the physical. If they want physical they will be sent to the ATM machines. They will also be sent to some credit unions, some banks and other places.
9-18-2026 Intel Guru Frank26 Everything will be sovereign on the 30th of September…It’s pointing in one direction. It’s not pointing north, south, east or west, it’s pointing towards the sovereignty of the monetary reform of Iraq…IMO everything will be sovereign on the 30th of this month…so will their currency… 1310 is not a sovereign position…
9-18-2026 Newshound Guru Jeff Article/Video: “Financial sovereignty…that financial decisions be Iraqi Sovereignty Day 30/September/2026” They’re calling September 30th financial sovereignty… Why would they call September 30th financial sovereignty, unless the currency is maybe going to be international by that time…Here’s another one by the Ministry of Finance …”Financial sovereignty …for the financial decision to be Iraq.” They’re declaring themselves as being fully financially sovereign September 30th…in reference to the troops being out.
9-18-2026 Intel Guru Reset Intelligence Iraq’s Ministry of Finance published… “Sovereignty in money… that the financial decision be Iraqi.” …with the hashtag “Iraqi Sovereignty Day.” Finance ministries do not deal in slogans. They deal in budget lines, debt schedules and customs receipts…The ministry that writes Iraq’s budget just told its citizens that the day the soldiers leave is also the day the money decisions come home. The government said the same thing… “September 30 represents an important sovereign milestone with which the relationship with Washington will move towards long-term economic cooperation.” That is two arms of the government arriving at one conclusion…
9-18-2026 Intel Guru Bruce [via WiserNow] We know that there are 51 currencies that are supposed to be on the redemption center screens. Purportedly, that would all be going up in value for us. Now there will be a time where the rates are high for us, like the dinar, like the dong…and then eventually they will level out.
9-18-2026 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: “AL-YAKTI TOLD ULTRA IRAQ: BAGHDAD AND THE REGION REACHED AN UNDERSTANDING ON THE BUDGET, OIL, AND ASYCUDA.” The Oil and Gas Law is one of the five main issues we were told last September 2025 by my CBI contact, just over a year already could/has held up the reinstatement…We get a sense that all are now agreeing on the issues and they can go forward with the law to parliament now.
