Iraq has the world’s third largest oil reserves, much of which has yet to be explored. Iraq’s economic potential is unquestioned, but there are concerns about its political stability. Because of these concerns, the Iraqi Dinar has been a vehicle for speculators, making investments in a cheap currency and holding it for a large payout. If you’re thinking about buying the Iraqi Dinar, here are three questions to ask.
1. Am I willing to wait 5-10 years for a potential return?
When you buy dinar it is a long term decision. There are a lot of rumors about when the dinar will revalue and allow dinar investors to make a huge profit. Many of these rumors provide a timeline of six months or less. However, keep in mind that like any foreign currency, the dinar is tied to the strength and stability of Iraq. This means that it must first form a stable political regime to promote and protect its economy. This is going to take years, not six months. So keep this time frame in mind when buying the Iraqi Dinar.
2. Can I afford to spend $XX?
Whatever amount you’re looking to spend on the dinar, make sure it’s an amount you can afford and risk. There are risks in buying the dinar and some dinar dealers try to pressure you into buying more than you can afford. Keep the long term time frame in mind when deciding how much to spend, make sure it’s not going to put you in a financially compromising position in the short term.
3. Who can I trust?
When you are ready to buy Iraqi dinar, make sure it’s from a place you can trust. It is absolutely necessary that the company is registered with the U.S. Treasury to sell the dinar and has an excellent record with the Better Business Bureau. If the company has a number, call them and ask direct questions. See for yourself if you can build a relationship of trust with your dinar dealer so that you can go them with your questions and concerns.
