The Spaces reviewed the latest expectations around the Iraqi dinar revaluation (RV), with Tony and RayRen98 outlining near-term signals and cautioning listeners on mindset and misinformation. Tony shared that IMF/UN chatter and mosque announcements in Iraq indicated lower denominations could appear Saturday, with public rollout Monday/Tuesday, and an indicative rate around 5.96; however, U.S. banks had not been told to work the weekend and no 800 numbers had been issued, tempering expectations. He reaffirmed TNT’s focus on education beyond “date and rate,” discussed limited availability of higher contract rates, and noted all exchangers should still access a base “4x” rate for 2–3 years. Q&A covered ZIM’s possible UN-administered 50¢ structured payout over 20 years, deposit safety, bank overnight rates, Plan B (diversifying into more currencies), next currency baskets (next by January; investor criteria shifting to $10M liquid), and geopolitical context: EO 13303 extended, U.S. War Powers in Iraq rescinded, and concerns over Iranian influence. Tony emphasized common-sense filtering of rumors, not depending on RV timelines for daily living, and that 800 numbers—if/when released—would be texted to TNT members first.

TNT Friday Call – Summary and Key Takeaways (Sep 12, 2025)

Participants and Roles

  • Ray (RayRen98): Host/moderator (Speaker 1). Opened the call, queued questions, and facilitated Q&A.
  • Tony: Primary analyst/commentator (Speaker 2). Provided intel updates, strategic guidance, and answered most questions.
  • Call-in participants: Audrey, Bus Lady, Danny (in Davis), Kevin, Rico, Patrick, Casper, Pam D., “Dare to Dream,” others.
  • Referenced parties/entities: IMF, UN, Iraqi contacts (citizen, contractor), U.S. banks (Chase and Wells Fargo), U.S. Treasury, CBI, DC (former co-host), and political figures (Trump, PM Sudani).

Executive Summary

  • Core update: Multiple non-bank sources (IMF-side contact, UN-side contact, Iraqi citizens/contractor) reported expectations that Iraq’s lower denominations would be released “tomorrow,” with broad public visibility and positioning by Monday/Tuesday. The phrase conveyed in mosques: Iraq would be seen as the strongest country in the region by Monday.
  • Bank readiness caveat: Despite the above, Tony’s bank contacts (Chase and Wells Fargo, multiple locations) reported no instruction to work the weekend or report early. No 800 numbers in hand. This gap tempers expectations for a Saturday start.
  • Indicative rate mentioned: Tony cited “5.96” as the rate conveyed to him. He will watch for confirmation tied to lower-denom release.
  • Access sequencing: “Those in the know” may be asked to go first before public starts Monday/Tuesday. Tony will text TNT members if/when 800 numbers arrive; he may tweet lower-denom news if/when confirmed.
  • Mindset: Tony hopes this is the last call, but stresses emotional resilience, common sense, and not making life depend on timing of the RV.

Current Status and Near‑Term Timeline (as relayed by Tony)

  • From IMF/UN-side and Iraq contacts:
    • Lower denominations expected “tomorrow.”
    • Public visibility/positioning Monday or Tuesday.
    • Mosques reportedly announced new denoms “tomorrow” and that by Monday Iraq would be viewed as the strongest in the region; citizens reportedly laughed due to repeated prior disappointments.
  • Banking ops:
    • No weekend staffing alerts received by Tony’s bank sources as of call time.
    • No 800 numbers in Tony’s possession; he doubts a start without them due to likely chaos.
  • Rate signal: “5.96” was mentioned by Tony as the rate provided to him; pending validation by events (e.g., lower denoms).
  • Start window: If banks do not staff up for the weekend, a practical start may align with market open (Monday), notwithstanding “go-first” aspirations.

Process, Access, and Member Communications

  • 800 numbers: Tony does not currently have them. If/when received, TNT members will be notified by text. Tweets may be used to share observable milestones (e.g., lower-denom rollout), not to distribute 800 numbers.
  • Priority/higher-rate allocation:
    • Tony negotiated a limited allocation for higher rates; the percentage is confidential, but he emphasized the allocation is far below 500,000 participants—nowhere near 1 million or 15 million.
    • Everyone will be able to exchange at the Forex (market) rate; the higher/contract-like rates are limited to a small percentage.
  • Forex/market rate access: Tony stated “everybody’s gonna get the Forex rate” for the next 2–3 years. Those content with Forex may simply proceed when available.
  • New (post-RV) site concept: Optional, more advanced community focused on wealth management/legal structures/opportunities; fewer entry slots; designed for already-funded members to explore opportunities with their advisors. Not a requirement and not a repeat of current calls.

Philosophy and Guidance from Tony

  • Emotional health: Long waits and disappointments are normal in this space. Do not make this your life raft; keep living and avoid dependency on timing.
  • Common sense filter:
    • Be skeptical of claims that lack plausibility (e.g., bank tellers evaluating business plans to grant higher rates; dramatic “jets/tanks” narratives; “colored dollars” claims; political conspiracy assertions like “Biden not president”).
    • Validate with public indicators (e.g., Gazette for Iraq) when appropriate.
  • Value of TNT: Education beyond “date/rate” — wealth protection, banking mechanics, government processes, legacy creation, emerging industries.

Rates, Structures, and Banking Notes

  • IQD rate: Tony relayed “5.96” as the figure shared to him; awaiting corroborating events (e.g., lower-denom release).
  • Overnight bank rates: Publicly available; callers cited ~4.33% at time of call.
  • Higher-rate allocation: Strictly limited; Tony negotiated a percentage. Many will default to Forex.
  • 800 numbers: Likely prepared by systems; Tony does not have them yet.

ZIM “Structured Payout” (as discussed)

  • Offer cited: UN-associated source suggesting $0.50 per ZIM paid over 20 years (not a bank/Treasury product per Tony’s description). Tony’s contact asserting this is not U.S.-specific (source not U.S.-based/UN-connected), implying potential global applicability; details remain unclear.
  • Tony’s stance: For most holders, a large lump sum under one’s control may be preferable to a 20-year annuity-style payout. He voiced macro-uncertainty (e.g., whether UN/NATO, etc., will look the same in 20 years).
  • Member considerations:
    • If presented, read the contract thoroughly; clarify continuity risk (what happens if the sponsoring entity changes?), assignment/beneficiary provisions, and security/insurance options.
    • Weigh opportunity cost: a banked lump sum may earn more and offer flexibility; a structured payout can support multi-generational planning.

“Next Baskets” After This RV

  • Second basket: Targeted “by January” (fast turnaround); Tony says he already has indicative values. Countries involved are “already situated,” implying simpler implementations than Iraq.
  • Third basket: Tony says he has it as well; to be addressed in due course.
  • Participation threshold for certain opportunities: Tony relayed a change from “$10M net worth” to “$10M liquid” (cash) for some post-RV opportunities; not universal, but a key bar for specific deals.

Geopolitical and Policy Factors Impacting Timing

  • U.S. political lever: Tony believes if the U.S. President decides to pause, Treasury will align, regardless of institutional readiness elsewhere. External triggers (e.g., a Venezuela action, high-level meetings such as in Qatar) can shift timing.
  • Global financial context: Tony opined that parts of Europe and China are under significant financial stress; broader changes are seen as beneficial systemically (his characterization of back-end drivers).
  • Iraq sovereignty and security:
    • EO 13303: Renewed in May for one year (per Tony).
    • War Powers Act (re: Iraq): Tony said it has been removed for Iraq, reducing U.S. unilateral military latitude there. Citizens reportedly fear vacuum effects (ISIS remnants, militias, Iran influence).
    • Iran influence: Tony suggested U.S. reservations persist; he linked PM Sudani’s standing with U.S. meetings to progress in reducing Iranian influence.

Practical Risk Management and Wealth Protection Notes

  • Bank safety and insurance:
    • Ask about products to insure large deposits; understand limits and custodian risk.
    • Recognize systemic risk history (e.g., prior crises); protection may depend on where and how funds are held.
  • Inequality trend: Tony warned of a growing “haves vs. have-nots” divide. Positioning, education, and protected allocations matter.
  • Plan B: Acquire additional diversified currencies as a fallback, rather than relying solely on a single play.

Selected Q&A Highlights

  • How/when will we be notified? Tony will text TNT members if/when 800 numbers arrive. He may tweet if lower denoms visibly launch.
  • Overnight bank rates? Public information; callers cited ~4.33% at call time.
  • ZIM structured payout: Proposed $0.50 over 20 years via UN source. Noted pros/cons; details lacking; not obviously U.S.-only.
  • Venezuela/bolívar: Caller cited prior talk of ~$0.30; Tony hasn’t seen the war start; reiterated “Plan B” concept.
  • Market vs. higher/contract rates: Everyone can get the market (Forex) rate; higher-rate allocations are limited by pre-arranged percentage.
  • Dinar/dong anecdote: A caller referenced someone receiving $28 per 1M dinar and an $11+ offer on dong; Tony couldn’t recall the dong amount and did not expand on that case.
  • Rupee rate inquiry: Caller’s old note said ~$1.28; Tony didn’t have updated figures and believed it’s similar to what she had noted. (No validation offered.)
  • Baskets list: Second basket from older lists remains broadly similar; Tony thinks two more currencies may have been added.
  • Why would Iraq revalue? To increase domestic purchasing power—buy more with less; Tony contrasted with China’s deliberate currency suppression as a separate policy example.

Closing Notes and Next Steps

  • Watch-fors:
    • Visible lower-denomination release in Iraq “tomorrow.”
    • Bank operational signals (weekend staffing alerts, early report times).
    • Arrival of 800 numbers to schedule exchanges.
    • Public posture Monday/Tuesday.
  • Communications plan: Tony will tweet if he sees lower denoms; TNT members will be texted if/when 800 numbers arrive.
  • Final tone: Tony remains confident it will happen, citing aligned agency signals and Iraqi preparations, yet he underscores the practical constraint—no weekend bank cues or 800 numbers at call time. Members should stay prepared, manage expectations, and apply common sense.
