One kilo of meat is about 8 or 9 Jordanian dinars.

In accordance with the methodology for losses of invalid Kuwaiti dinars, at the time of valuation a crosscheck of the serial numbers of the submitted Kuwaiti dinars was undertaken against the list of cancelled serial numbers provided by the Kuwait Government.

As a starting point, the Panel requires claimants to submit the Iraqi dinars to the Commission.

Only claimants who have provided actual Iraqi dinar banknotes have potentially compensable claims.

Let me sum it up. We have heard about millions and billions of dinars being stolen.

The Panel recalls that the Commission has consistently recognized that losses resulting from the forced exchange of Kuwaiti dinars into Iraqi dinars or the receipt of Iraqi dinars in lieu of Kuwaiti dinars at the exchange rate of one to one are compensable losses directly resulting from Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

The Panel notes, however, that in the case of invalid Kuwaiti dinars, it is possible to verify that the submitted Kuwaiti dinars are in fact part of the series of currency that were cancelled by the Kuwait Government after the theft and circulation of such currency by Iraqi officials during Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

In support of this loss, the claimant provided the Iraqi dinars and the ostensibly original 1990 transaction documents, which appeared pristine.

To address this concern, the Panel carefully examined the facts and circumstances surrounding the receipt of Iraqi dinars to satisfy itself that the loss claimed is directly attributable to Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

Other losses Twelve of the claims in this instalment seek compensation for other losses for a total asserted value of KWD 409,306 (approximately USD 1,416,284).

Isa Town Market inferno On the 15th of July 2012, the Isa Town marketplace caught fire, damaging more than 450 shops and causing damages amounting to hundreds of thousands of dinars.

Following the liberation of Kuwait and the reinstatement of the Kuwaiti dinars, these claimants were left with Iraqi dinars that at best could be exchanged on the unofficial market at de minimus rates.

For example, in UNCC claim No. 3012083 the claimant asserts a business loss in the amount of KWD 150,000 (USD 519,031) allegedly resulting from Iraq's directive criminalizing the use of the Kuwaiti dinars during the occupation period.

19. An allegation is made concerning quot bribes required of persons to obtain release or protection quot , and it is said that quot bribes in many thousands of Iraqi dinars, and paid to all levels of government forces, have been reported quot .

Claimants asserting this loss as a D4 (personal property) loss allege that during the period of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait they were forced to exchange their Kuwaiti dinars for Iraqi dinars at the rate of one to one.

A significantly greater number of claimants in this instalment than in the regular category D claims programme filed for losses resulting from Iraq's criminalization of the use of the Kuwaiti dinars and the imposition of the Iraqi dinars as the official currency of Kuwait during the occupation period.

While the Panel finds that these losses are compensable in principle, the Panel notes that currency losses generally, and particularly currency losses relating to Iraqi dinars, are particularly difficult to verify. Ownership of currency is generally proven through possession of the currency.

The Panel is of the view that there is a risk that some claimants in this instalment may have recently collected Iraqi dinar notes dated prior to 1991 expressly for submission to the Commission, alleging that the banknotes were received during the period of Iraq's occupation of Kuwait.
