Reset Intelligence – Dinar Guru Mazhar Muhammad Salih, the Prime Minister’s financial advisor, went on camera about the missing 250 and 500 dinar notes. Paper wears out, he said. He also pointed out that Iraq, unlike most countries, still uses paper for small change where the world uses coins. The currency overhaul Iraq’s central bank has kept on file since 2011 puts coins at the small end of the new money, and the official who fronted that plan back then is the same advisor who sat in the studio this week. Coins only exist where the smallest unit of a currency is worth something.
