Iraqi Dinars. Bad Investment, or Worst Investment?
Once a currency loses value, it never regains it. Period. Granted there have been short term periods of deflation, as well as periods where, due to relative value fluctuation, a currency may temporarily gain value against the U.S. dollar (or Euro, Franc, whatever) but the prospect of a currency that's lost 99.99% of its value will reclaim any of that value is an impossibility. Currency is paper. It's not stock. It's not a hard commodity. It has no intrinsic value, and no government in history has ever been motivated to "re-value" its currency. Mind you, there have been plenty of "reverse splits" where a government will knock off the extraneous zeroes to make handling units of the currency more practical.
