The Iraqi Dinar is the official currency of the nation of Iraq. Once among the world's strongest currencies, the Dinar collapsed after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. International trade sanctions rendered the currency useless for foreign trade, forcing Iraqi businesses and the government to buy US dollars in order to import and export. This hyperinflation drove the value of the currency into the ground, and in the 30 years since it has yet to fully recover. It has shown growth at times, up 14% against the dollar on the year as of this writing. This blog seeks to cover news and developments relevant to the Iraqi Dinar (IQD), and in particular, it's exchange rate versus the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Pound, etc. This blog is maintained by Peter Egan, of Egan.Store.

Zimbabwe’s “RTGS Dollar” Can Be Used to Purchase New Gold Coins; Not So for 2008 Zim Inflation Currency
Zimbabwe's Central Bank recently introduced a new set of gold coins in a bid to boost the country's economy. The coins, which come in denominations of 2, 5, 10, and 20 Zimbabwean dollars, are said to be made from locally sourced gold.
The introduction of the new coins has been met with mixed reactions, with some Zimbabweans expressing excitement at the prospect of having a new form of currency, while others have raised concerns about the practicality of using gold coins in everyday transactions.
Which Zim Currencies Can Be Used to Purchase the Coins?
One of the main questions that has been raised is whether RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) dollars can be used to purchase the gold coins. RTGS dollars are Zimbabwe's official currency and are used for electronic transactions, but they are not widely accepted by all merchants.
According to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, the new gold coins can be purchased using any form of legal tender, including RTGS dollars. This means that Zimbabweans who have RTGS dollars can use them to buy the gold coins.
What about Zimbabwe’s 2008 Hyperinflation Currency?
Unfortunately for collectors around the world who have made the 2008 $100 Trillion Zimbabwe banknote one of the most popular numismaic collectibles of all-time, they won’t be able to help land the new gold Zimbabwe coins.
The reason is rather simple. 2008 Zimbabwean money cannot be used to buy anything, much less cold coins. In 2008-2009, Zimbabwe experienced hyperinflation, and as a result, the currency became practically worthless. In response, the Zimbabwean government abandoned the Zimbabwean dollar and adopted a multi-currency system. The primary currencies used in Zimbabwe are now the US dollar, the South African rand, and other foreign currencies. At the height of the hyperinflation, Zimbabwe released a $100 trillion dollar bill, which at its height was worth something like $1.36 USD.
Gold coins, like any other goods or services, typically require a recognized currency or a form of payment that is widely accepted. Since the 2008 Zimbabwean money is no longer in use and has no value, it cannot be used to purchase gold coins or any other items. If you're interested in buying gold coins, you would need to use a recognized currency or another form of payment accepted by the seller.
However, while officiallt the RTGS dollar can be used to purchase the coins, some experts have warned that using RTGS dollars to purchase gold coins may not be the most practical option. This is because the value of gold is constantly fluctuating, and it may be difficult for merchants to accurately determine the value of the coins in RTGS dollars.
Despite these concerns, the introduction of the new gold coins is seen as a positive step towards stabilizing Zimbabwe's economy, which has been struggling for years due to hyperinflation and a shortage of foreign currency.
The use of gold as a form of currency is not new in Zimbabwe. The country has a rich history of gold mining, and gold was once used as a medium of exchange before the introduction of paper currency.
In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in gold as a form of currency, with some countries, such as China and Russia, increasing their gold reserves in an effort to diversify their currencies.
The introduction of the new gold coins in Zimbabwe is therefore seen as a step towards aligning the country with this trend. It remains to be seen whether the coins will be widely adopted by Zimbabweans, but for now, they represent a glimmer of hope for a country that has been through so much economic turmoil in recent years.
When will the Iraqi Dinar Revalue? (Bing’s AI Tool)
Today, I became curious after months of+*/ hearing about arificial intelligence, chat bots, Open AI, ChatGPT, etc. I decided to indulge my own curiosity and also assess just how intelligent these artificial brains really are. The first one I played around with is one created by Microsoft’s Bing.
I posed the following (loaded) question: When will the Iraqi Dinar revalue?
The answer it gave me wasn’t particularly impressive, however, when I first attempted to write this post my browser froze and I lost everything. Interestingly, while the gist was the same, the second time I asked the idenical question I got a slightly different answer.
That answer is below, make of it what you will:
The Iraqi Dinar has been a topic of speculation for many years. The Iraqi Dinar Revaluation (RV) is a theory that the Iraqi Dinar will one day be worth a lot more than it is today. The RV theory is based on the belief that the Iraqi Dinar was artificially devalued by the Saddam Hussein regime in the 1990s, and that it will be revalued to its true value once Iraq becomes a stable and prosperous country².
However, on February 7th, 2023, Iraq's cabinet approved a currency revaluation and set the exchange rate at **1,300 dinars per U.S. dollar**³⁵.
Source: Conversation with Bing, 7/1/2023
Umm... What was the rate before it was 1300-1?
I guess noboddy mentioned to it what the rate had been before the government set t at 1,300 dinars to $1. Most people would consider an 11% ROI pretty good for year’s investment. IQD appreciated that much against the US dollar in one day when it was set at 1300-1. So at leats in 2023, if you buy Iraqi dinar you haven’t lost anythign this year, and appear poised to see your patience pay off like so many of us have long hoped.
Here is what it said when I asked what the rate had been prior to being changed to 1300-1 (it was 1468-1, but Microsoft Bing didn’t know and couldn’t figure that out). The response is as follows:
I couldn't find the exact exchange rate before it was set at 1,300 dinars per US dollar on February 7th, 2023¹. However, the Iraqi dinar was equal to US$4.86 between 1932 and 1949 and equalled to US$2.80 between 1949 and 1971 after being devalued in 1949²³. I hope this helps.

I couldn’t have just let this go without sending feedback to the AI’s operators and developers.More on that in the next post...
What do you make of the other currencies being discussed in the same context as Iraqi Dinar as it relates to revaluation and exponential profit potential?
Sounds to me like in light of everything else going on, maybe it is time to start getting excited. Looks like the CBI is preparing to float the IQD internationally.

Thank you @genralindustrialurban and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!
I don’t know where all this traffic is suddenly coming from but if people are actually reading, I’m a professional journalist, a legitimate dinar expert and someone with better sources than many if not most ‘dinar gurus.’
While I’ve never had any doubt that the Iraqi dinar would revalue as I trust my source 100% of the time when the individual(s) describe future events. To call them “predictions” would imply guesswork when clearly there are no guesses involved. Somehow, Entheos knows the future.
The possibilities entail:
Time traveler
God (or someone acting directly on His behalf)*
Current or retired intelligence official/agent/contractor/director with access to predictive analytics technology that would seem “Godlike” to all but a few thousand or so people on earth. There’s a reason such a product hasn’t entered the consumer marketplace despite clear instances of demand (will the dinar revalue is one).
Something else entirely which I’ve not yet considered and may lack the capacity to understand.
*“Entheos” literally means “the God within” (the spirit of God believed by many to dwell within us all).
I tend to lean towards #3… I also know that this individual has proven collaboration with President Trump, as well as Dan Scavino, Q (the “Q”). Through Q, they were connected to an account by the name of @WarNuse. That account appears to be leaking specific classified information about traitors who have been brought to justice in an unofficial, official capacity… Anonymous social account that has every indication of a government whistleblower or someone who was tasked to serve as an unofficial whistleblower publishing verbatim information given to them by the Trump administration.
I was told first hand by this person that they were among a group who initially approached and convinced Trump to run in 2012 originally, later postponed to 2016 to avoid facing an incumbent. I was also told first-hand by this person that it might be worth researching the idea of investing in Iraq’s currency, the dinar.
This person or people who who go/goes only by the alias “Entheos,” formerly “Entheos Shines.”
The easiest way to find their current social profiles are to visit Entheos.News, which takes you to the official Truth Social profile, or EntheosShines.com, is which leads to the official Telegram page.
This person or people has a reputation long predating my familiarity with them, and have documented hundreds of future events long before they happen. If they’ve ever been wrong, I missed it.
That’s why I’m so bullish on dinar. I’ve heard very good things about “Mark Z.,” as well as some others, but I know very little about them. I will say a disproportionate number of customer (nearly all with whom I’ve spoken) have at least mentioned his name. One even claimed he either endorsed us or at least said our name on air. The timing did seem to coincide with a surge in business.
1991 Kuwaiti Dinar Revaluation a Valid Point of Comparison for Modern-Day Iraq’s Currency?
When considering the situation in Iraq specific t
To the CIA, this one’s personal…
George H.W. Bush was President when the US engaged in the chicanery involving Kuwait’s currency that left lots of soldiers very wealthy and paid for the majority of America’s involvement in the conflict. Bush Sr. was CIA director before Reagan was shot (likely by the CIA), getting one of their own in the Oval Office.
It’s hardly the first time. As it turned out, there was no mystery surrounding the Kennedy assassination. The CIA did it, presumably over the comments Kennedy made expressing desire to dismantle the successor bureau to the Office of Strategic Services.
His son, George W. Bush, was President during the 2003 Iraq invasion, and said many times that America wouldn’t pay for the costs of that war. The US owns so many trillion dinars it’s a viable theory that it was the main reason for the war to begin with, but for a host of reasons the event has been delayed almost 20 years. That reason, is what he intended all along to do with the dinar.
If you don’t know what “Operation Mockingbird” or “Project Mockingbird” are by now, unless you’re 13 it may be too late for you. In short, it’s the script every local and national host on every network reads the same EXACT headlines, the same way and at the same speed.
The CIA has diverted the most resources toward suppressing any and all positive news involving the Iraqi dinar than they hav anything having to do with journalism since they along with the State Department lost the narrative war regarding Manuel Zelaya in Honduras and whether the Chavez clone was lawfully impeached (it was the latter). Why would the CIA care if they were people dumb enough to fall for a multiple thousands-to-one r return on investment? Your guess is as good as mine if in fact the rumors were false. It appears they are not, however. The rumors are true, which is why the agency wants the facts suppressed. At least that’s the best sense I’ve been able to make of it.
In fact, the main motivation for the CIA telling anyone who’ll listen that the dinar is a “scam” appears to be Executive Order #13818, which is would allow the government to seize the assets of top CIA officials and anyone else engaged in human rights abuses, human trafficking and crimes against humanity. That would seem to cover most in the intelligence community.
With as firm of a commitment as they’ve made to the democrat party, the other matter is that the very people who planned this currency manipulation (democrats and rinos) won’t even get to benefit from it.
No wonder they all hate Trump. Those laws and EOs signed by Busy 43 granting Americans the right to buy, possess and trade dinar was something they had undoubtedly seen as for them and NOT for us regular folk. And now the opposite is true of thanks to Trump.
Until I see en example proving me wrong, I’ll assume that 100% of American voters want Trump back in the Oval Office. Surprisingly, GOP voters haven’t taken the bait on DeSantis, who is Jeb Bush’s attempt to look conservative. DeSantis isn’t conservative, he’s a Bush, and the dinar will revalue and soon (IMO).
This is not financial advice.

News Headlines Out of Iraq Making DInar RV Seem Inevitable
The headlines coming out of Iraq and surrounding nations from over Christmas weekend in the West are in my opinion definitely overwhelmingly positive, at least as it relates to all of us whom the official state media has ridiculed as fools and conspiracy theorists. It appears as though the events chronicles bellow in Arabic and Israeli news sources suggest strongly that all conditions necessary for the Iraqi dinar to revalue are finally all present.
The CIA probably will and may already have engaged in false flag attacks in Iraq to blame on Iran because democrats and Rinos do not want this to happen (the dinar to revalue) thanks to a Trump signing Executive Order 13818. This EO allows the government to seize the property of say, everyone who’s every been to Jeffrey Epsein’s island, which would include everyone who planned the Kuwaiti dinar revaluation, the Iraqi dinar revaluation (at least those still alive) and have committed many, many crimes against humanity.
People like the Bushes, Clintons, their handlers and their successors at America’s one time intelligence agencies-turned-hostile-rulers via coup and most everyone else involved in the planning of the dinar currency revaluation in America at least don’t want it to happen because they’ve sold their souls to the devil (in my humble opinion) and and are committed to America’s destruction.
Obama mainly created ISIS to stop this from happening. Looks like it’ll happen anyway. Maybe 20 years after some expected, but better late than never.
Like the Jews as they wandered upon escape from Egypt, we’ve endured tremendous inconvenience, in some cases suffering, ridicule, isolation and loss of relationships with friends and family. Point being we’ve all endured hardships because our faith was so strong we stood by it in the face of adversity.
The path of least resistance would have been to take the word of those who invest SO MUCH time and effort to convince us that we are wrong, assume that if sounds too good to be true it must be so, and do our best to avoid thinking about it. Assume it’s all a big scam, that those selling it only buy to sell and aren’t in most cases more heavily invested than any of their customers (never-mind that most of us are).
Large corporate interests like several based in California and a few in Florida, New York and the East Coast likely think people who invest in their products are fools, don’t believe in them themselves and (if ethics is even a concern that crosses their minds), justify it by saying, ‘if they’re going to waste money on it, it might as well be us profiting. Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer not to deal with companies that treat me like I’m livestock.

“#Iraqi Prime Minister has reportedly told a press conference that his government intends to increase the value fo the Iraqi #Dinar (IQD) against the U.S. dollar.” #Iraq
Ms. Sandy at Edu Matrix has some of the best videos about the Iraqi dinar and it’s prospective revaluation available anywhere on the web.
Everything I’m hearing is that the RV is imminent... anywhere for hours to weeks, months tops. There’s been lots of chatter that this will be a very special Christmas. Sure, could mean anything or nothing, but Trump’s history is pretty close to unanimous in terms of his knowing something specific when he makes remarks like that.
My recommended source for IQD (Iraqi Dinar) is Egan Store (http://egan.store & Egan Shop https://eganshop.com).
Peter (the owner of Egan Store) has told me this week that he intends to start removing IQD listings soon, although he couldn’t give a date, stating that they would only sell what they can replace, but would sell as long as he could get it. So as long as they can get it they plan to make it available and help as many people as possible procure some before it’s too late.
Peter is a good man and his customers love him. His business has achieved a better than 99% customer satisfaction rate selling on eBay, Etsy, other third-party platforms and from their relatively new site, EganShop.com.
Peter will be launching a plethora of currency-specific, niche collectible numismatics, coin & banknote shops — each specific to a particular nation’s currency.
Egan Shop and Egan Store have every denomination of new Iraqi dinar available for some of the best prices available anywhere online. If you find a better price, message them. If Peter can beat it he will.
Zimbabwe banknotes (aka: “Zim Bonds”) being sold out of China have been identified as fake. How prevalent is the problem?
“The whole (eBay) marketplace is toxic right now as a result…“ ~ eBay Seller
Sometime in May I made a purchase of an eBay listing for ten $100 Trillion Zimbabwe banknotes from a new seller I was not familiar with who was based out of China. I do business with a couple of Chinese sellers who are great to do business with, whose products are always authentic, relatively inexpensive and delivered to me quickly. This seller is not one of them. The listing was priced well below market rates, and part of me suspected they might be fake. Still, the price was too good to not give it a shot, figuring that if in fact they were fake I could always return them.
BELOW: Counterfeit $100 Trillion Dollar Bill (Zimbabwe Currency)
BELOW: Zimbabwe Flag
Until I saw a counterfeit Zimbabwe $100 trillion dollar banknote from the 2008 hyperinflation currency, I didn’t believe that they even existed. After all, why would anyone who has made the investment into state-of-the-art counterfeiting equipment and the supplies needed to operate it waste their time, money and focus forging a currency that has the dubious distinction of being history’s most worthless currency? They wouldn’t, right?
Well, I figured they’d be out making dollars or Euros or Yen or something similar until I opened up a shipment from an eBay seller whose price was so low I had to take a flier on his products.
Well, my first assessment of these notes from China was correct. The notes did in fact turn out to be fake. However, they were such good fakes that I would be shocked if most buyers would have been able to determine that they were in fact counterfeit. The notes even had the long-rumored color-changing ink on the left-side of the obverse side of the note (more on this in a bit). However, the notes lacked any of the security fibers that glow under ultraviolet lighting, which is the one security feature present in every authentic $100 trillion Zim note I’ve inspected. Color-changing ink is not, however so many high-profile sellers have documented that this is a security feature present (it is not – at least not in enough of the legitimate, authentic notes to be used to exclude all notes absent it) that buyers generally tend to go in with the false impression that notes absent that ink are fake. The truth is that in all of my research, I’ve seen $10, $50 and $100 trillion Zimbabwe banknotes that were authentic and had serial numbers printed with an ink that changed from red to bright orange under UV lighting. However these make up a very small percentage of the notes in these denominations, as most authentic notes do not have this feature.
BELOW: Gif of a Hollywood money counterfeiting machine.
The absence of the security fibers was enough to raise red flags about my purchase from a new-to-eBay Chinese vendor. Other noticeable discrepancies including the coloring being slightly off make me even more suspicious. Finally, I went and brought them to a professional who conformed what by then I already knew — that the ten 100T notes I bought were fake. When I went to try to return them I found that the seller’s eBay account was no longer active, but by looking at the old listing, I was able to determine that he had sold at least nine lots of ten notes to other buyers besides myself, a few of whom left positive feedback.
“The whole (eBay) marketplace is toxic right now as a result of these fake notes entering circulation over there. There’s no telling how many have not been identified and removed from circulation. The seller who reported these did so at his own expense, and he took a considerable loss to remove the fake ones from the marketplace. How many others would be willing to eat a loss when they know they can get away with selling them and making them someone else’s problem. And that’s just the ones who figure out that they’re fake. Most won’t even get that far, especially collectors who don’t sell the stuff for a living.” ~ eBay Seller on the Plague of Counterfeit 100 Trillion Zim notes on the eBay platform
I personally have observed these same notes as those I had purchased, sold by the same seller, listed for resale by other US-based collectors who had decided to try to take advantage of the low rate to flip some of their steal of a deal (at least in their minds… I doubt most collectors even realize that they’re counterfeit), many selling enough to pay for those they keep. But the problem that causes is now they’re in circulation on eBay and are being traded on eBay among secondary sellers who bought from the same Chinese vendor I purchased from, only they haven’t sold hundreds if not thousands of authentic 100 Trillion notes and weren’t able to establish that they were counterfeit like I was able to do.
BELOW: The counterfeit one-hundred trillion dollar Zimbabwe banknote viewed by me under ultraviolet (UV) lighting.
ABOVE: Notice the total lack of security fibers, an omission that becomes more glaring when coupled with the color-changing ink.
So once I knew the notes were fake and knew I couldn’t return them for a refund, I decided to absorb the loss and not resell them. I will be making a couple of videos in which I’ll attempt to communicate to buyers what to look for and how to know if the note you’ve purchased is real or fake, but other than that I have no intention to use or sell the notes, and will almost certainly destroy them on video, a copy of which will be posted here to prove the notes were all destroyed.
In the meantime, buyers should carefully vet their sellers if buying 2008 Zimbabwe banknotes, especially if buying from eBay. It may be best to just avoid eBay for a few weeks and let the market cleanse itself of the forgeries.

Egan Store to Include CoA With All Dinar, Dong, Rupiah, Zim and Bolivar Products
Leading Exotic Currencies Dealer Egan Store to Offer Certificates of Authenticity For All Listings of Iraq Dinar, Vietnam Dong, Indonesia Rupiah, Venezuela Bolivar and Zimbabwe Dollar Items
Exotic foreign currency banknotes dealer Egan Store (aka: “Egan Shop”) has announced that effective immediately, purchases of any and all core products will not be eligible for a certificate of authenticity to be included with the order for no additional charge.
Egan Store co-founder and proprietor Peter Egan Jr. observed that his business’ best-selling products were those which advertised a certificate of authenticity in the main listing photo, like the dinar dealer’s listing for a quarter-million Iraqi dinar in the form of ten uncirculated 25,000 IQD banknotes. While Egan Store has included a CoA by default for sales of the listing linked to in the previous sentence for the entirety of the company’s existence, it only recently began making certificates available for no additional charge for all of the company’s most popular product lines and listings.
The move came in the wake of a two week period during which the number of buyers requesting certificates for orders of Vietnamese Dong, Indonesian Rupiah, Venezuelan Bolivar and 2008 Zimbabwe dollar, particularly the trillion-dollar denominations in the case of the latter.
Said CEO Peter Egan Jr. of the move, “We inspect every note valued at more than a few dollars under UV lighting among other methods of establishing authenticity anyway, and inspect a random sampling of notes from each purchase that we make before we make them available to our customers. We take our responsibility to be bona fide experts in these respective currencies very seriously, and certificate or no certificate, our longstanding policy has always been that if any note we sell is determined to be fake, we will replace it or issue a full refund to the buyer who purchased it. The CoA is really just here for new customers’ peace of mind. Not that we’ve ever sold a counterfeit note, although we have purchased a few over the years. Thankfully, we were able to identify those as fakes within minutes of opening the package they arrived in, so the notes never made it into circulation, and we have zero intention of ever selling them, even with a disclaimer denoting that they’re fake. The fact is, if we were to sell a note we know to be fake, even if we state that it’s not an authentic banknote, we have no control over what the buyer does with the note, so if we were to attempt to recoup a portion of the losses we incurred on those purchases by reselling the fake notes as fakes, there’s a distinct possibility that they’d eventually wind up in circulation, and I would personally rather absorb the loss myself than do something that could potentially result in some unwitting person unknowingly purchasing a fake note and not learning that the note is fake until it’s too late, leaving them with only the option to resell it under the same false pretenses under which they purchased it as a means of recouping their loss. We’ve been very blessed. and the Lord has given me the wherewithal to absorb those losses, so that’s what we’ve done.”
“From this point forward, any customer who requests a certificate of authenticity for any listings involving any of our five primary currency offerings, and frankly nearly all of our other products as well not counting the novelty banknotes like the Ripple/XRP novelty banknote, our Antarctica polymer note and all of the notes that will make up a yet-to-be-launched category which I plan to entitle, ‘The Breast Banknote Collection Ever Assembled.' While I won’t spoil the surprise with that particular collection, suffice it to say I’m very excited about it, and I would encourage everyone to check back with us in a week or so, by which time the category should be live.”
In addition to the five national currencies mentioned above, Egan Store has introduced a number of new product offerings in recent weeks, introducing banknotes from currencies from all across the world.

To receive a free certificate of authenticity for fully guaranteeing the legitimacy of banknotes purchased from any Egan Store shopping venue, if buying in-person just ask; and if buying online, just leave a note at checkout (you will be given the option to leave a note for the seller at checkout regardless of where you purchase from). However, if you for whatever reason do not see the field or forget, just send Peter, Mellenia or any member of the Egan Store team an email or message if buying through a third-party shopping interface mentioning your order number, the date-of-purchase, currency(ies) purchased and that you would like a certificate of authenticity to be mailed along with your order and the team at Egan will gladly accommodate your request.
