They also asked a Mexican doctor and a lawyer named Claudio to change about $100 million in Iraqi dinars into U.S. currency - about $325 million. This exchange rate seems backwards. $3.25 US = $1.00 Iraqi

Thats using the exchange rate that Saddam has fixed by decree. In the open market US$1 will get you 1000 dinar. And if you buy dollars, you probably have to plunk down 1500-2000 dinar to get US$1.
May be a lot higher nowadays too.

That doesn't sound right. I thought it was more like $100mI = $30,000US.
