ISIS wants to introduce its own currency and plans to bring back solid gold and silver dinar coins, it has emerged.

The Middle East terror group apparently wants to introduce its own Islamic currency as part of its attempts to solidify its makeshift caliphate.

The currency known as the dinar, which once consisted purely of gold and silver coins, is today used by a variety of countries, but the coins are created from different materials to the originals.

However, the jihadi group is understood to be planning to return to the original gold and silver coins, which were first introduced during the Caliphate of Uthman in 634 CE.

While ISIS has yet to confirm the introduction of its currency, social media is awash with claims that leading religious figures announced the plans during recent prayers in Mosul and Nineveh province.

Not a bad idea, actually, but they will probably want something like pennies and nickels for making small change.

A giant uptick in counterfeit gold (plated tungsten) is about to take place.

Would the coins have a severed head on them like ours do?

[Buckeye McFrog]

That’s one coin that at least will have a legitimate reason to have a disembodied head on the front...

1 Terrorist Scalp = 30 pieces of silver. Works for me! :)

You can lop off heads and the governments of the world will send strongly worded letters. You can rape women and sell them into slavery and you might get a dozen bombing raids. But when you start crossing the central banks with real money you'll be put down in a hurry.

Hmmm... A Republic with a Rapidly devaluing Currency and a Slaver Tribe using Gold and Silver.

That DOES sound familiar....http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Legion_currency

Wasn’t there a theory about Gaddifi and gold for oil?

[Telepathic Intruder]

Let me guess...

[txhurl]

So, IS has the gold and is looking around for a smelter and molds?

Who’s portrait would be on the ISIS dollar ?

See post 13. (Heads you lose.)

[TADSLOS]

The acts of brutality are the same.

I’ve always thought it interesting that the beginning of the decline of the Republic appears around the time we went from depictions of an abstract of Liberty on coinage to depictions of leaders and personages.

[Genoa]

And then we took a nosedive again when the coins were debased in 1965.

Allah on the gold, Muhammad on the silver.

Then every time you looked at them you would have to kill yourself.

Works every time.
