Finkelstein Swap

Can Iodine be used in a Finkelstein Swap in stead of NaI or KI? Strange as it may sound I am having trouble getting iodides while I2 is plenty available.

No.
Iodine is not even a nucleophile.
Please read about the Finkelstein reaction to understand how it works.

PS: Please open beginners threads and referenceless threads only in the Beginners section.
