Does anyone have a contact in the currency dept at this bank?

It would come in handy right about now.

Rumor is that they will be exchanging dinar sometime within 6 months.

I picked this up on the other forum, if you know what I mean. (some of you may have posted there)

Garbage? or do you have to get the right person talking.......?????????

I will try to follow this up with my BOA contact this week. I'd appreciate if anybody could inquire also.

Western Union with their 'new' commercial...the funny airplane commercial that tells the guy, Western Union "exchanges foreign currency"...

Flash,
I talked to a branch manager of BOA in Texas in May. He said WHEN the time comes BOA will exchange Iraqi Dinar.
I don't know about 6 months.........I'd like to think it would be in a few weeks. LOL

I talked to a BOA currency specialist some time back, he said the same thing. I have got to follow this up. 6 months sounds like a nice safe time frame to tell customers. If this was said.....somebody must have some news.

It's really quite simple to check these sorts of rumors out
trick is to go to the experts.... the average tellers at the local branches usually don't have a clue ;)
