February 5 is being celebrated in Iraq this year as Mohammed's birthday. Since they follow a lunar calendar, the date changes every year.

This year it coincides with 576 days after we cast barley into the headwaters of the Mississippi River (July 9, 2010). As such, it has possible implications to the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar. They may consider this occasion to be appropriate for the revaluation.
