Do you feel lucky? That's the question posed by Jeffrey Pasquarella's brainchild: BetOnIraq.com -- a Web site he founded to give brave investors the chance to buy Iraq's restructured currency--the 'new' dinar.
Pasquarella told CNBC's Erin Burnett that 4,000 customers have used the site's foreign exchange service over the past three years, with the "average customer" scooping up (U.S.) $300 worth of Iraqi dinars apiece.
Little by little, the risk -- so far -- is paying off: the post-Hussein-regime currency was valued at 1,477 dinars to the Yankee greenback as of September; today, it only took 1,299 dinars to buy a dollar.
