Indeed, the Iraqi dinar having come from war is a bargain, with its value currently pegged at several thousands against one measly dollar. Post-war currencies are often cheap. Another good reason to buy the Iraqi dinar is the near ratification of its constitution, which was postponed.
Many believe that the ratification of the countrys constitution will further boost the value of the Iraqi dinar as well as boost the economy of Iraq, which is so far stable despite the insurgency and ruckus that the war and the hunt for Saddam Hussein raised. In fact, last year, it posted a 50 percent increase in the countrys gross domestic product (GDP). This is an increase despite the peace and order problems that it has suffered from. This year, they are expected to post a gain of 34 percent in their gross domestic product (GDP). Their stable economy is largely because of the fact that they are the second largest oil reserve holder in the world.
Though already an oil-rich country, Iraq is taking the next step further through inviting international oil companies to develop 11 oil fields in the south of Iraq. The development is expected to increase the production of oil to 3 million barrels a day and make buying Iraqi Dinar more profitable!
Besides the perceived stability of the currency, many believe in the growth of the Iraqui economy. Just last year, the Iraqi ministry has awarded licenses to more than seven thousand start-up businesses in the country. Seeing the potential of the market in Iraq, companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, General Motors, Chevron, Texaco, HSBC have started to invest in the country and establish their own operations in Iraq. International banks and financial institutions have also been awarded licenses. Banks such as HSBC, Standard-Chartered, National Bank of Kuwait, Iranian National Bank, Bahraini Arab Banking Institute, which is based in Kuwait are given permission to operate in the country.
The Iraqi dinar actually united the old Iraqui currency and the Swiss dinar, which was used in the North side of Iraq before the war. Currently, the new Iraqi dinar has six denominations: 50, 250, 1000, 5000, 10000 and 25000 bills. This development of one currency not only gives convenience to the Iraqi people who need not use different currencies in the two parts of the country but also shows unity at the home front.
Being new, the Iraqi dinar has security features that make it hard to be counterfeited. Printed by the De La Rue, worlds largest commercial security printer and papermaker, based in Great Britain, one can be sure that everything is in fraud perfect. It actually has several security features, such as watermarks, metallic inks, safety strips, color-changing symbol, raised lettering and writing that is only visible in ultraviolet right.
Knowing all this, no wonder there are a lot of investors who are thinking that buying the Iraqi dinar is the next big thing after the Yamashita Treasure. Truly, the Iraqi dinar has a lot of potential and who knows, it may make you a millionaire!
