Pictures at link. Now they gone and done pis**d off the banksters!

[Argus]

How long before genuine ISIS gold dinars are being hawked on talk radio?

[rdl6989]

I wish they would remove themselves from earth.

[Genoa]

The copper and silver coins appear oval shaped. Will they have vending machines in the new caliphate?

[MUDDOG]

The first Muslims copied the Byzantines’ gold coins.

[Rockingham]

And gained themselves some sympathy from inveterate gold bugs.

If “the Oppressor” removed its money from the Middle East, ISIS — and, indeed, most of the Middle East — wouldn’t last six months before begging “the Oppressor” to return.

[I want the USA back]

Here’s a prediction. $hithead will recognize “IS”, or as he calls it “ISIL” as a legitimate country.

[wally_bert]

They will push for total obliteration now. How dare anyone cut in on banking’s exclusive turf?

[BitWielder1]

They actually did one thing right.
I bet they still won't say no to American $$$'s though.

Related: Baghdadi audio surfaces, supposedly recorded after the airstrike. Calls for “volcanoes of jihad” and adds Yemen, Egypt, Libya, and Algeria to the caliphate.

“Islamic State is set to become the only ‘state’ to back its currency with gold (silver and copper)”

Now there is a group to emulate. sarc.

Any goldbugs want to move to Iraq? It is only a few thousand dollars for the flight.

[Phinneous]

So unlike our republicans, they’re socially AND fiscally conservative?

[sphinx]

Where is ISIS going to get gold and silver? After melting down all ancient and medieval artifacts, I mean.

[DJ MacWoW]

[<1/1,000,000th%]

With an economy the size of Oblong, Illinois’, it should work out fine.

Except that ISIS’ll screw it up.

[angry elephant]

So if they take control of any oil wells, will they refuse to sell oil to anyone who cannot pay in gold?

If they seize any banks, will they not accept mortgage payments that are paid electronically?

Gold ̣not "gold backed" dirhams circulate in Indonesia and in Central Asia, not a lot, but it is happening. The lure is that one can buy the same amount of rice or RPG with agold dirham now or in a year no matter what happens to the government money. It won't catch on generally because there is that Economic axiom that "bad money drives out good." Some Moslem traders use dirhams with each other because it is "Moslem" money but also because it is trustworthy.

[BenLurkin]

Darn.

The most evil bastards on the planet and they have real money.

And we don’t.
