Summary:
The latest episode of the Tuesday Coffee with MarkZ podcast, dated January 20, 2026, has provided a wealth of information and insights for listeners, particularly those invested in the Iraqi dinar and the potential revaluation (RV) of the currency. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the key highlights from the podcast as summarized by PDK.
The podcast began with a discussion about a picture featuring President Trump and Iraqi currency on MarkZ’s thumbnail. The currency in question was identified as a 2003 Iraqi dinar note bearing the image of S****m Hussein. MarkZ and his listeners speculated about the significance of this image, with many believing it to be a form of communication or signal, given the context of recent chatter about Iraqi currency in both the dinar community and the broader economic world.
MarkZ touched upon Massoud Barzani’s visit to Davos, where he aimed to garner support for business in northern Iraq. This development indicates Iraq’s increasing engagement with the international community and its move beyond a restricted market. The potential for meetings between Trump and Iraqi officials on the sidelines of such events was also discussed, fueling speculation about diplomatic efforts and their implications for the dinar.
A significant topic of discussion was the announcement of the full withdrawal of US forces from Iraq. MarkZ confirmed that US troops are indeed leaving Iraq, a development that has been linked to the potential revaluation of the dinar. Listeners expressed excitement at the prospect, with some recalling previous statements suggesting that the US leaving Iraq could be a precursor to the RV.
A crucial piece of information shared during the podcast was the confirmation that the US Treasury is holding billions of Iraqi dinars, potentially worth trillions of dollars. MarkZ affirmed this, stating that at one point, the Treasury had $55 trillion worth of dinars but has been selling or trading them back to Iraq. This revelation has significant implications for the potential RV and the subsequent exchange process.
MarkZ provided valuable insights into how the exchange process might unfold. He explained that banks, acting as redemption centers, would have individual phone numbers and links for setting up appointments. These details would be disseminated through Dinar Recaps and other news aggregating sites. MarkZ emphasized that the redemption centers would offer a higher rate with lower fees, as banks would be keen to attract customers and deposits.
An intriguing point discussed was the possibility of Iraq offering an “Oil for Dinar” exchange, allowing the US to aggregate Iraqi currency and exchange it for cheap oil from Iraq. This could be a strategic move, leveraging Iraq’s oil reserves.
As the community awaits the RV, speculation about the timing continues. Some listeners believe it could happen by July 4, 2026, aligning with significant events and deadlines, such as the introduction of gold-backed currency. MarkZ’s reassurance that he will notify his listeners through his podcast and other channels once he receives information about the exchange process has provided some clarity.

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim
MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context. Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions
Member: Happy Tuesday and Good morning to everyone.
Member: (There is a picture of President Trump and Iraq currency on the table on Marks thumbnail for this video.) Did anyone identify the currency?
MZ: Oh yeah. Its Iraqi with a picture of Sadaam Hussein on it. A 2003 I believe. If you notice they are looking at Iraqi currencies. There is a lot of chatter about it and not just in the dinar world…but in the economic world and the middle east in general.
MZ: “Shocking and in pictures: Hussein clashes with Trump and Savaya during their meeting. What is going on and what is being prepared for Iraq?” We don’t know…but these are sensitive symbols left over from Saddams rule.

Member: Mark, the question is why would P. Trump have that bill in front of him, old bill.?
Member: Savaya’s post with currency in it has to be a signal! It wasn’t from yesterday so his timing of posting it is peculiar.
Member: Mark, my 2 cents. It’s a comm. S****m currency is “on the table”. Probably since it’s the currency the US confiscated back in the war
MZ: Do you guys thinks it’s a comm ? Lots of news outlets and comments about this picture and wondering why its important and what does it signify? Why are they looking at old currency if it was worthless. Wouldn’t they just throw it away?
Member: My two cents: It’s a comm. S****m currency is “on the table” . Prabably since it was the currency tat was confiscated during the war.
MZ: “ Massour Barzani heads to DAVOS: And these files will be discussed at the World forum” He is trying to whip up support for business in northern Iraq. It is clear they are international and no longer playing in a restricted market.
Member: I wonder if Trump and Iraq officials will meet during a “side meeting” over there?
Member: Hopefully US leaving Iraq means we’re about to get paid!!!
MZ: Yes US troops are leaving Iraq.
Member: If our troops left Iraq, we should get excited

Member: Mark what are we waiting on for Iraq to complete to RV? the recent e******n have to be settled??
Member: Is it true the US Treasury is sitting on billions of Iraqi dinar that could be worth upwards of $41 Trillion?
MZ: It is true. Absolutely. 100%.At one point they had $55 Trillion but have been selling off or trading back to Iraq.
Member: I believe Trump said $35B in Dinar…which is (allegedly) 46 Trillion Dinars
Member: Dow down over 6oo points! W0W
Member: When does President Trump speak at Davos?
Member: I believe on Thursday
Member: Wasn’t it said at one time that when President Trump leaves the country and the troops leave Iraq then we would get an RV?
MZ: Yes it was said that we will leave when we get paid. So I think the US might have been paid
MZ: “Iraq announces the full withdrawal of US forces from its Federal Territory” …Iraq is taking over US military bases “ After the American withdrawal Iraqi Interior Minister visits the Ain Al Assad base”

______________________________________________________
MZ: This is a planned and peaceful transition.
Member: Just a thought—Trump is out of the country tonight/tomorrow and delivering a financial speech tomorrow morning (8:30am CST). RV when he’s out of country?
Member: I heard Vietnam was rumored they went public on their rv putting pressure on Iraq. Domino affect. I also heard this week! Has anyone heard this?
MZ: On the bond side I really had hoped to have news by today…but so far nothing. Groups, Indian Nations, Farm claims are all quiet
Member: I am positive this will happen by July 4 for Trumps big celebration
Member: Family, just remember 7/04/26 is the drop d**d date for gold backed money! So 3 months before that would make the most sense! IMO
Member: Tell us again how we are going to be notified. Will the 800 numbers be universal?
MZ: You are not looking for one magical 800 number. Banks have told me they would have individual number and links to set up appointments . They told me that they would be sending their numbers to Dinar Recaps and other news aggregating sites so they can send it out with their free email newsletter. I was told I would get the information as well. I will then notify mods and do a podcast.
Member: I assume those numbers will be depending on location.
Member: Are banks and redemption centers the same thing? Will they give us a higher rate?

______________________________________________________
MZ: Yes . Redemption centers are a redeeming bank with trained personnel to do your exchange right there. No putting it in an envelope and sending it off. Banks desperately want our business so they can give us a higher rate with lower fees …Banks will get more customers and more deposits which keeps them in business. That’s how banks make money.
MZ: Also we were told many years ago that Iraq would an opportunity on their portion of the currency exchange for “Oil for dinar” where the US could aggregate that currency and exchange it over time for very cheap oil from Iraq at about $35 a barrel. This allows Iraq to leverage an asset that is still in the ground.
Member: How close will these redemption centers be?
MZ: I was told that 90% of Americans would have a location under 50 miles. If you live 3 hours from civilizations like in rural Montana or the Dakotas…of course you have to drive further. I hear you will have even more choices in Europe because you are used to dealing with foreign currencies all the time.
Member: I don’t are how far it is…..what a great roadtrip that would be.
Member: MarkZ what did you decide to do on your evening podcast? Are you going to start pre-recording???
MZ: I will have a live podcast tonight with Dr. Jay ….but starting next week he will transition to the day podcast in the second hour.
Member: It’s hard to believe how close we are but the anticipation is k*****g me
Member: Hang in there….the best is yet to come

Key Insights
[10:53] Iraq’s Currency Revaluation as a Long-Term Economic Strategy
The Iraqi government’s plan to gradually revalue its currency over time by leveraging oil revenues reflects a pragmatic approach to economic reform. This phased strategy allows Iraq to manage inflation risks while restoring the dinar’s value, which could enhance foreign investment and stabilize the economy. The U.S. aggregation of Iraqi currency for cheap oil purchases further demonstrates intertwined economic interests.
[14:28] U.S. Military Withdrawal from Iraq: Strategic Shift and Sovereignty Restoration
The announced full withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq symbolizes a major shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics and signifies Iraq’s reclaiming of sovereignty. The peaceful transition of military bases to Iraqi control hints at evolving U.S.-Iraq relations and potentially new economic opportunities, such as the planned currency revaluation tied to Iraq’s oil wealth, suggesting a strategic pivot towards economic normalization and regional stability.
