An Important Billboard at the BIAP

As you walk into the Baghdad International Airport (BIAP) you can't help but notice this huge billboard sign referring to the removal of Iraqi Dinar Currency out of the country. The rules and regulations are from the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and signed off by the good Dr. Shabibi who is the Governor of the Central Bank.

It is forbidden to carry more then 10,000 Iraqi Dinars or us dollars out of the country. And anything in excess of this amount has to be processed through the bank. This is in compliance with the AML laws that are in place and also to control and minimize currency flight. As you can see the rules are in place since October 2005. Just a warning if you are in Iraq think twice about smuggling Iraqi currency.
