I know what you mean.
I purshased over 2 million IQD in early 2005. Back then the rate was about $1:1500 IQD. Up until the first week of November 2006 it was pretty level averaging around 1:1480. In November it began to increase in value at a significant rate, usually several percentage points each week.
Over the past few weeks the rate of increase has slowed down, but I expected that. A currency can't go up in value too quickly without causing economic problems. According to xe.com the IQD is trading slightly higher than what the CBI is asking, but that can change from hour to hour.
