[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY:
Iraqi television Shafaq news started showing the possible new lower denomination dinar notes to the public. This is being seen as a big step towards changing the exchange rate for the Iraqi dinar. The new notes they tell us have upgraded security features that we have never seen before and are a signal of Iraq’s financial reforms moving forward. The show is that these notes are real and ready and they’re doing that just ahead of a potential exchange rate change…We’re not seeing it on Baghdad Channel 1 or any other outlet here. Kind of confusing. [Post 1 of 2….stay tuned]
