From a old article in Sept. 2010....the ration cards sat at 500 dinars....but they shortened the list of goods since this was wrote:

The majority of Iraqis dependent on furnish their ration card in their daily lives since the start of the international embargo on Iraq, in 1991, after the Kuwait war, and includes vocabulary ration per capita rice, flour, vegetable oil, sugar, tea, washing powder, soap, milk dried (for adults), and powdered milk (for children), pulses lentils and beans, chickpeas, with an estimated value of these materials per capita in the local market about ten dollars, not counting children's milk, while obtained through the ration card the amount of 500 dinars .

By Aseel Kami Reuters BAGHDAD - Iraqi housewife Najat Al Azzawi once lived in constant fear of car bomb attacks when she went shopping. Now, when she goes to the market in Baghdad her biggest concern is soaring food prices. With violence at a four-year low, many Iraqis are fixated on the same thing worrying people around the world - inflation. It shows how much has changed in Iraq in the past year. Many still fear widespread bloodshed will return after Iraq nearly slid into all-out sectarian civil war in 2006 and 2007. Indeed, a car bomb killed 63 people in Baghdad last week. But violence is not the main thing on their minds anymore. As she prepared a meal of chicken kebabs and boiled potatoes for her husband, daughter and grandson, Azzawi rattled off the impact rising food prices have had on her household budget. Half a kilo of chicken last week cost 2,250 dinars ($1.80), she said. This week it was 2,750 dinars. A jar of jam used to be 1,250 dinars, now it is 1,500 dinars. “There goes my budget,” added Azzawi, 58.

CK refreshed my memory again....there is a difference between smart cards and ration cards plus ration card was dropped to 500dinar in early 09 from 1250 now it is 250.
