Article quote: “A recent audit and monitoring of company practices revealed that some exchange firms have been charging citizens a commission of 50,000 dinars for purchasing dollars, double the amount stipulated by official directives.” This is exactly what I’m talking about when it comes to honesty in Iraq. They would rather steal a dime instead of earn a dollar. Theft and cheating has become a way of survival in this country, unjustly accused and excessively punished. It has been two generations since the Iraqis have known normal and everyone tries to best the system. They are not ready to RI/RV the currency until practices are uniform and legit.
