Questionable currency from an extremely unstable and fractious Middle Eastern country? Where do I sign up???

Not trying to mock the OP, but if you only take a 15% loss on this, I think that's acceptable.

Right, but you are missing the point. Its not like its a 10K "investment" (I use the term loosely here) that could be sold at a loss and invested elsewhere. Its a 100 bucks. Almost not worth selling at what he could get for it (barely cover a dinner with some beers), so he may as well hold onto it at this point and the small chance it might be worth something in the future.

I get your point. You are right that $100 is small beans. Unless the OP really needs the money for something, he may as well just hold on and at worst have some "souvenirs" for posterity.

One thing you all failed to mention, does the Op have the old dinar with saadam's face on it? If so they currency can be used for wallpaper. The new currency will increase in value simply because Iraq has to pay it's bills. One of the things that helps stablize a country is it's currency

I heard this second hand, but a friend of a friend made a $750 investment into Dinars and he recently was cut a check for $15k as an initial payout, and is expecting another payment that was not disclosed to me. I'm a skeptic so I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. On the off chance it was an actual legit investment I'm going to be peed off that he didn't think of me.

Sounds like total BS quite honestly.
