    You're looking for some coins for sale? Or you're just looking for information about them? I see here claims that the coins aren't real gold, but merely plated, so if you find some for sale, beware.

    interesting article..

    isis are the baddest mofos on the planet -- they set all this up in one year. in addition to what's bolded below they also run ports, oil refineries, airports, produce/distribute movies, overthrow governments, operate high tech weaponry, more!

    nyc media was screeching in june that isis coins were imminent.....where they be?

    http://www.numismaticnews.net/articl...oin-collecting

    The June 24 issue of the newspaper The Independent reported, “ISIS, thought to be one of the richest terrorist groups in history, makes its money from black market oil sales, aggressive taxation, robbery, extortion, wealthy donors, human trafficking, and looting the properties and ancient monuments it has seized.”

    Anti-ISIS activist Abu Ibrahim Raqqawi recently posted images of 1- and 5-dinar coins on his Twitter account he said are being issued by ISIS. Raqqawi wrote, “ISIS say soon they will deal with the new coins.”

    ISIS first announced in November 2014 its intentions to issue its own currency in the form of precious metal coins modeled after the dinar coinage of the Caliphate of Uthman in AD 634. The dinar denomination is still used in many countries today, but none are issued in gold or silver for circulation.

    ISIS reasoned the coins should be issued as specie to “emancipate itself from the satanic global economic system.”

    That is going to be challenging to achieve. The value of gold and silver composition coins would change alongside the continual fluctuations of the spot price of these metals. Since ISIS is not recognized as a government there is no place to establish an exchange rate for the coins against other currencies.


    In November last year ISIS said it would issue seven coins, a gold dinar valued at $139, a gold 5 dinar valued at $694, three silver dirham denominations it valued between $1 and $9 each, and two copper composition minor denomination coins of minimal value.

    The recently unveiled coin images were initially provided by ISIS supporters. The unveiling was likely meant to coincide with the first anniversary of the group. The coins appear to be embossed with an Arabic legend translating to “The Islamic state—a caliphate based on the doctrine of the Prophet.” The other side of the 5-dinar coin depicts a world map, while seven stalks of wheat that reference a Koran verse appear on the 1 dinar.

    Among the many questions are where ISIS would have the coins made, how would they be distributed, how would these coins replace the existing currencies of the countries now being occupied by ISIS, and why wouldn’t the general public hoard rather than spend the coins.

    The source of the gold, silver, and copper required to strike the coins is also in question since neither Iraq nor Syria mine any of these metals. According to The Independent article, “Experts believe any precious metals the group possesses have been purchased, stole, or looted in other forms and melted down.”

    This article was originally printed in World Coin News.

    collecting coins is terrism?!

    Gold dinar

    According to locals in Mosul and the Twitter accounts of Islamic State (“ISIS“) members and other people, ISIS is issuing its own currency, the dinar. As noted here, the ISIS dinar is available in two gold coins, three silver coins and two bronze coins, minted with Islamic State approved imagery.

    One such Tweet announcing its availability today, is below.

    £100 million to mint

    Just before Christmas, ISIS members had conversations on Twitter and Ask.fm, two of their preferred recruitment platforms, about the progress of the new ISIS dinar in which, inter alia, they said was costing the organization £100 million to mint.

    It is interesting from a counter-terrorist financing supply side that they priced out the cost in reference to UK pounds, suggesting that the suppliers of the components to manufacture the currency are in the UK. It is, of course, an indictable criminal offense in most countries to sell goods or services of any type to the Islamic State, or to provide any material support to them.

    ISIS starts advertising the dinar

    In early January, ISIS plastered billboards in several places in Mosul, including the University of Mosul, announcing the advent of the ISIS dinar and extolling its virtues and benefits. Below is an image of the billboards. The goal of the dinar is stated as intended to save Syrians and Iraqis from the “unjust and satanic financial system” in the rest of the world. The ISIS billboard ads say that the ISIS dinar will replace the Syrian pound and Iraqi dinar.

    Dinar priced in USD

    According to the billboard ads, ISIS said that it will begin circulating the dinar soon. The designated value, according to the billboards will be US$139 per one gold dinar. Interesting to note that despite the alleged aversion to Western currencies, financial system and culture, ISIS pegged its homegrown dinar to the US dollar.

    The move coincides with the opening of ISIS’ first bank called the Islamic Bank in Mosul. People in Mosul said that all of the bank employees are members of ISIS.

    As we know, this is not the first Islamic State, and the creation of an Islamic State dinar is a step back in time to recreate the dinar that existed in the 7th Century under the first Islamic State.

    Collecting it will be terrorist financing

    There are ISIS sympathizers in the UK already asking about acquiring the ISIS dinar on Ask.fm and no doubt there will be some external sales of the dinar to support ISIS. As well, coin collectors and others who are not ISIS sympathizers will look to collect the dinar for its novelty value, although the purchase and possession of an ISIS dinar would be terrorist financing, ergo illegal.
