Islamic State mints its own coins

 

Islamic State has begun minting its own 'Islamic dinar' coins. The reported value of one gold dinar is $139.

The currency, based on the original dinar coins used during the Caliphate of Uthman in 634 CE, was set to include two gold, three silver and two copper coins.

IS announced last November that it would start producing its own currency in areas under its control, in an effort to “emancipate itself from the satanic global economic system.”
