Understanding the Iraqi Dinar Hysteria
Press releases and sales pitches like the one below fuel the average person's longing to get rich.The fact that large sums of Iraqi Dinar can be purchased for relatively modest sum (e.g. $750 for 1 million dinar) fuel the psychology. Many dealers also allude to the patriotic benefits of buying dinars.
"The Dinar has long been a strong currency. Right now it is at a historically low rate. It is similiar to what happened in Japan and Germany after World War II. Their economies were shattered so you could buy up lots of their currency very cheaply. Once their economies got back on track, anyone who had taken advantage of that opportunity became extremely wealthy. The US Government has invested over 200 Billion Dollars in the future of Iraq so far. They have committed another 18 Billion Dollars in Reconstruction Aid. That is more than $2000 per US Household. Are you in a position to directly profit from that investment? You are if you buy Dinars."
