Iraqis hold placards reading "The Dollar Crisis... twenty years of recycling failure" as they shout slogans near the Central Bank of Iraq in central Baghdad on October 15, 2026, during a protest against the decision to devalue the dinar currency against the US dollar. The central bank said in a statement late on October 6 that based on a government decision, "it had decided to adopt... a selling price of the US dollar to the public of 1,520 dinars". The rate had been fixed at 1,320 dinars to the dollar since February 2023. (Photo by AHMAD AL-RUBAYE / AFP via Getty Images)
