According to
XE.com the current value of the Iraqi Dinar is 1459.35/$
This
article cites the
Wall Street Journal
as pegging the Iraqi Dinar as being worth 4000/$ when the invasion/war
began on 4/9/03. Interestingly, the Dinar actually
rose in value to 1800/$ only two weeks later.
The third part of your question is impossible to answer (at least, as
now phrased) because you have not defined what you mean by 'when Iraq
stabilizes'.
Even if you were to set some benchmarks, which (when and if met) would
indicate Iraq's stabilization -- predicting when these events would
simultaniously take place (let alone, what the Dinar/$ value will be on
that star-crossed day) is impossible to predict with any certainty.
For that matter, since it displayes the image of Saddam, I doubt
that the pre-war Dinar will even be legal currency in post-war Iraq.
Good Luck!
