[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 2020212, member: 4910"]From CNN: [INDENT]ISIS is planning to mint its own currency in gold, silver and copper, the group said Thursday. Its aim is to stay away from the "tyrant's financial system," ISIS said in a statement. It said it would issue another statement to explain the new currency's exchange rate, and where it can be found. The currency will include seven coins: two gold, three silver and two copper. The move is "purely dedicated to God" and will remove Muslims from the "global economic system that is based on satanic usury," ISIS said. The group, which calls itself the Islamic State, has seized large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria. It seeks to establish an Islamic caliphate in the region [/INDENT] Been done before: [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_islamic_abdalmalik_coin.jpg[/IMG] Umayyad Caliphate Abd al-Malik AE Follis Standing Caliph Obverse: Caliph standing facing, left hand on sheathed sword Reverse: Steps, long pole in circle Bronze, 20mm, 2.81gm, Struck AD 685 to 705 :)[/QUOTE]
