Yes, indeed. And I am saying that as an Iranian.

When I exited the country, 8 years ago, every dollar was 4K tomans. Now it’s 150K!

I have been re learning money as a former banker for the last 5 years every day now. Everything I knew and what I was taught about money pre covid was a lie. Everything.

#bitcoin or bust

How does it work there with using USD cash vs tomans? Does the government turn a blind eye to some areas using USD?

USD cannot be used as a means of exchange. But there is not much hurdle in your way if you wanna store your surplus in USD. It would help and a minority do that.

150k ❌

1500000 IRR ✅

What do you mean exactly?

I just wanted to point out that it’s not 150,000 tomans. The official currency of the country is the Iranian rial, which makes it 1,500,000 rials, and that shows the depth of the disaster is far greater than it seems.

Wtf you would think the Iranian central bank would have moral and religious duty to NOT debase by printing but in the end the power of the printing press is too great to keep control. Theres immense pressure by the usual banking cartels to shut out Iran internationally and bend them to their will as we can see in the war against them.
