<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 8221811, member: 75482&quot;]The canonical weight of the Islamic dinar is 1 <i>mithqal</i> (4.25g). Initially, the fineness and weight tolerances were very strictly controlled. Later, the gold remained fine but the weight of individual coins became random, in which case they would have been weighed rather than counted in transactions. Eventually the fineness also decreased, particularly in the east, and the dinar over time became a unit of account. Today in Iran, it takes 4,225,000 dinars to equal 1 US dollar. In 2015, ISIS attempted to reintroduce the canonical gold dinar of 1 mithqal/4.25gm as the official currency of its short-lived &#039;caliphate&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
