Now ISIS wants to introduce its own currency: Plans to bring back solid gold and silver dinar coins announced in Iraqi mosques
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.
Militants are said to want to bring back the original dinar, which is an ancient currency from early Islam, and religious figures in Mosul and Iraq’s Nineveh province have apparently announced its return in mosques.
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.
The original Islamic dinar was a gold coin which was the weight of gold equivalent to 4.3 grams. Its silver counterpart, known as the Islamic dirham, was a silver coin equal in weight to 3 grams of silver.
Both were round in shape and one side of the coin was typically stamped with an Islamic message, while the other side featured the date of minting and the country’s ruler.

Wow you mean the barbarous ISIS is going back to using that barbarous relic, something that actually has physical value? :lol:
Last week, we brought to the public's attention a controversial 'missing' section (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-07/greenspans-stunning-admission-gold-currency-no-fiat-currency-including-dollar-can-ma) from the official transcript of Alan Greenspan's interview last with the Council of Foreign Relations where he dared utter his honest opinion that, "Gold is a currency. It is still, by all evidence, a premier currency. No fiat currency, including the dollar, can match it." Well, it turns out the reason for the practically heterical section's omission was "a glitch in the live stream" and CFR has apologized and posted the full transcript. Interesting coincidence that this gold-loving, Bernanke-denying section was the only one to be hit by the 'glitch'; we are confident it's mere coincidence...
CFR has apologized...
To Whom It May Concern
Thank you for pointing out the gap in the video and transcript of our October 29 meeting with Alan Greenspan.
The error was the result of a glitch in our live stream. Full-length CFR event video, audio, and transcripts are posted unedited.
We have reposted the video and transcript of the event.
The audio, which was posted without gaps on October 29, can be found here.
Please excuse the inconvenience.

Thanks, Mr. Meth
So, just so long as we've all got this straight,
Russia, China, and many other governments are all buying up gold as fast as they possibly can and are dumping the dollar as fast as possible. (which will take a bit of time, its pretty ubiquitous.)
These guys are saying here's our currency that will never lose its value, especially against backed by nothing fiat...
and our "leaders" are telling us that gold is a useless barbarous relic (thanks, bernanke)
well everyone except ron paul, who has been sounding that alarm forever, and the establishment makes sure he's seen as a crazy ol uncle who is just a bit too batty to listen to.
who's going to be fleeced?
the economist reports that the .01% now have wealth equal to that of the bottom 90%.

and....haha....that's before the fleecing.
good luck, fellas.
