Iraq has experienced multiple devaluations and revaluations of the currency…From 1988 to currently where we are these are the major events that affected currency. 1988 the IQD as introduced. This was replacing the IQP (Iraqi pound). This was done at a fixed rate of 1 to 1. You could exchange your IQP straight across 1 for 1 for the Iraqi dinar (IQD). 1990 when Bush went to war with Iraq of course the gulf war caused significant devaluation of the IQD. The currency lost about 80% of its value against the US dollar. You could exchange 1 Iraqi dinar for $0.31 cents US.
