TONY:   Over the years we have believed this would go … sometime we were totally convinced it would go … BUT …  it wasn’t as simple as we thought.  We just didn’t know what we didn’t know.

I have not yet received the 1-800 numbers

Don’t forget to ask for the “highest possible rates” and negotiate the exchange fees.

IMF has stated that the release will occur tomorrow for T4 public to the T5 people Monday or Tuesday.

Mosques in Iraq – Today people in Iraq were told their currency will revalue tomorrow – Saturday (Iraq time.)

At this point no bank has indicated they would be staffing over the weekend.

Rate is $5.96 USD

1 US Dollar = 1.5033 Australian Dollars as at 9.45 am EST Aus today.

1 IQD =  $8.95 AUD  (Note the change in the USD/AUD exchange rate)

Let’s hope no more inter-country friction / wars happen between now and the targeted release. There have been so many times it was set for release but conflicts have intervened.

At this point in time, currencies in the second basket are due for release on or by 05 Jan 2026.

Release is supposed to go this weekend / Monday.
