I have a relative that invested THOUSANDS of moolah in the Iraq dinar; they think by the end of this week or something they'll be millionaires; I've been told by others that its more like a scam. Anybody know anything about it?

Investors were talking about that several years ago as being a potential goldmine. I looked into it, personally, but it was a risk I chose not to take. Now, had Iraq stabilized and the economy over there gotten on track, it probably would have turned out to be a great investment. But with the current hell going on over there, it's not likely to happen anytime soon, if ever.

Keep in mind even if the economy over there starts booming, they can always decide to change currency, which isn't unusual for a new government to do.

Now, that's the best idea I've read on this thread yet!!! :lol: :lol:

If it was all so much of a sure thing, I would have already done it; Iraq is in the throes of civil war, stability is nowhere near in sight, and the U.S. is powerless to even so much as install an effective "puppet" government.

I'm quite certain that by the end of this Wed., I'll be regretting what I said, the opportunities that I've lost, and draining my emoticon piggy bank by having to buy a bunch of ops: ops: ops: faces!!!

Everytime I say something to them about the civil war, etc. over there, they get all "Oh, thats just what the media says, they never tell you about the good stuff going on over there; we have investors over there, and they tell us the $ is gonna go soon." (go where, I dunno)

Keep reading your Papers in Liberal Minnesota about the Civil War.
Thought this topic was about the Dinar and not your stupid comments about War on Terrorism and Iraq?
Why don't you go to Iraq and find out for yourself what is actually going on.
