    Iraqi Dinar Scam

    Just talked to two of my coworkers tonight who told me about how they invested some money in the Iraqi Dinar with the potential for it to turn into $1,000,000 USD in the future. Does anybody know anything about this? To me it sounds like the biggest investment scam out there.

    If an investment sounds too good to be true, it usually is.. i think?

    Investing in a currency produced by a country with an unstable government sounds like once of the stupidest investment decision one could make.

    FWIW, I have a Saddam era Iraqi dinar note. I got it for free from a woman who volunteered as a doctor there about a year before the US invaded. The note was and is worthless due to inflation.

    anything that 'will turn into a million dollars' is a scam.

    this.

    unless you have a terrific job or make a huge bet on a small company, it's pretty tough to get to a million dollars

    It's probably worth more today in America than it was worth in 2002 in Iraq. It looks like most on ebay are going from between 50 to 99 cents.
