Prior to the sanctions being imposed in August 1990, 3 dinar = 1 USD

Now approximately 2,000 dinar = 1 USD.

The devaluation of the Iraqi dinar means that ordinary people often sell their furniture and prized possessions to make ends meet.

Average one month salary in Iraq is between 5,000-10,000 dinar.
